Finland-based Pro-Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa, has condemned former Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Emeka Anyaoku’s visit to President Bola Tinubu.

Ekpa, a self-acclaimed Prime Minister of Biafra Republic Government In-Exile (BRGIE),
cautioned Anyaoku against sabotaging the actualization of Biafra Independence.

His warning comes after Anyaoku led a group of Nigerian Elderstatemen, the Patriot to visit President Tinubu on Friday at the Presidential Villa.

Anyaoku in his speech urged the President to convene a National Constituent Assembly to produce a people’s democratic constitution for the country.

He appealed to the President to send an executive bill to the National Assembly, proposing two measures.

They include convening a national constituent assembly with the mandate to produce a draft people’s democratic constitution, while the constituent assembly should be of directly elected individuals, on a non-political basis, from the 36 states of the federation, possibly three individuals per state and one from the FCT

However, Ekpa in a statement on Saturday stressed that Anyaoku should not allow himself to be used as a pun against Biafra’s agitation for self-rule.

He lamented that Anyaoku had been silent despite the marginalization and killings of Biafrans in the South-East and South-South.

“Emeka Anyaoku while they used late Ezeife, Obiozor, Iwuanyanwu, Ifeanyi Ubah and now it is your turn.

“They have dragged you out from your shell of hiding and silence in the presence of the massacre of Biafrans in the SouthEast and South-South.

“You never condemn the killing of the people you claim to be speaking for. Whoever knows Emeka should warn him to stay away from anything that will sabotage our freedom or the wrath of the land will fall on him.

“We always warn before calling on the gods to go after you. We will not warn him again”, he said.
