The illegitimate governor has been disgraced by Biafrans in Enugu state today – Simon Ekpa knocks Mbah, says no Governor can cancel sit-at-home

Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, has faced criticism from Simon Ekpa, a well-known Biafra agitator, regarding his recent remarks on the sit-at-home order observed on Mondays. Mbah had declared his intention to close schools and businesses that comply with the sit-at-home directive.

However, Ekpa, a Finland-based lawyer and self-proclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Government in Exile (BRGIE), took to Twitter on Monday to assert that no governor in the eastern region has the authority to cancel the sit-at-home order unless Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB, is released from detention. Ekpa emphasized that the Southeastern states would continue to remain closed on Mondays in solidarity with Kanu.

He further claimed that the Enugu governor had been disgraced by Biafrans in the state, expressing it as a significant vote of no confidence and asserting that the Biafra Republic Government in Exile was the one in charge. It should be noted that Kanu was re-arrested by the Nigerian Government in 2019 and despite multiple court orders for his release, the previous administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari did not grant him bail.
