Simon Ekpa, a well-known advocate for Biafra’s independence, has expressed his endorsement of the military regimes in Niger Republic, Mali, and Burkina Faso. He mentioned that if the Nigerian military were to intervene, as suggested by West African leaders, Biafra would stand by the juntas. Ekpa, who is a lawyer based in Finland and leads the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, made this statement in a video posted on his verified Twitter account on Monday.
His response comes in the wake of the ongoing regional tension within the West African area due to the recent military seizure of power in Niger Republic last month.
It’s noteworthy that just last week, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sought Senate approval to carry out measures previously agreed upon by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in an effort to restore stability in Niger. One of these measures involved potential military intervention in the country if the junta didn’t step down within seven days. However, this ultimatum came to an end on Sunday.
In response to ECOWAS’ warning, Ekpa affirmed Biafra’s full support for the juntas in Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso.
“I want to start by encouraging the presidents of Mali, Burkina Faso and the Niger Republic.
“I want them to understand that the wave of freedom in Africa, especially West Africa, must continue. We want to let them know that Biafra is behind them.
“We are fighting the economic freedom and the complete freedom of our people. Should Nigeria lead a military invasion of the Niger Republic, Biafra will stand by them.
“Over 70 million Biafra is standing behind any nations that want to free themselves from modern-day colonialism”, he said.
