Biafra agitator and leader of the Biafra Government in Exile, BRGIE, Simon Ekpa, has reacted to a move by the Nigerian government to facilitate his extradition from Finland.
Recall that the Defence Headquarters, DHQs, on Tuesday announced that the Nigerian government is currently engaging the European Union, and EU to extradite Ekpa.
DHQ Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, spoke in response to Ekpa’s announcement of December 2 as the date for the map presentation and official declaration of the Biafra Republic.
Reacting, Ekpa, who is known as the Prime Minister of BRGIE, in a statement posted on his official X handle on Wednesday, urged officials of the Nigerian government to participate in the upcoming Biafra Convention in Finland.
According to Ekpa, participating in the convention would allow the Nigerian officials to engage him in the debate regarding his move for Biafra liberation.
He stressed that the constant call by the Nigerian government on the European Union and Finland to take action over his extradition confirms the legitimacy of the Biafra Government in Exile.
“We are inviting them as Nigeria representatives and observers. The government of Biafra will recognize their presence in Finland and an opportunity to engage Simon Ekpa on the podium for a debate on Nigeria.
“We are inviting Major General Edward Buba to the convention and a special accreditation card is already approved for him.
“The constant call by the Nigerian government on the EU and Finland to take action against me only confirms the legitimacy and potency of the Biafra government in Exile and the Biafra de facto government in the homeland. We will bring Biafra from exile,” he claimed.
Ekpa further extended an invitation to the Nigerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar to the proposed Biafra convention which he said will be held in Lahti, Finland, from November, 29 to December 3, 2024.
