Gani Adams Issues Stern Warning To Ekpa Over Planned Sit-At-Home In Lagos | READ MORE

Following the threat to effect a sit-at-home order in Lagos State, South West Nigeria, by Finland based Biafra Republic agitator, Simon Ekpa, the Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Adams has warned Ekpa against such move.

Recall that Ekpa had said that the sit-at-home order implemented in the south east purportedly in protest for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), would spread to Lagos state.

Reacting, Adams warned Ekpa not to repeat the mistake of the 1970’s, warning that “any attempt to impose the Biafra Republic agenda will be resisted.”

Adams also warned that the South-West is not part of “the Biafra Republic’ and as such, it was preposterous for “outsiders to dictate or impose their agenda on people of other regions who they cohabit with as residents.’

“I can’t go to the South East now and say I want to decide for the people of that region. So, it is not possible to import the South-East agenda into Yorubaland. It would be counter-productive. We advise him (Ekpa) to drop that idea.

“He should not try that. The South West is not Biafra Republic. Any attempt to impose the Biafra Republic agenda will be resisted. He should desist from repeating the mistake of the 1970s. He should be very, very careful.

“They are entitled to their opinion, but South West is not their Biafran region. He should be very, very careful,” Gani said in an interaction with Tribune.
