South-West Not Biafra: Gani Adams cautions Ekpa against sit-at-home protest in Lagos

Simon Ekpa, the IPOB’s factional leader, has been cautioned against organising a sit-at-home demonstration in Lagos State by the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams.

According to reports, Ekpa hinted in a tweet on Wednesday that IPOB planned to duplicate the protest in Lagos.

The South West region is not the Biafra Republic, Aare Gani Adams noted in an interview with The Tribune, so such an attempt will not be tolerated.

He also urged the IPOB leader based in Finland to abandon the action, which he described as counterproductive, and to refrain from making the error that sparked the Civil War.

 

He said: “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 counterproductive. 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. “He should not come and impose his agenda on the South West. It is uncalled for, it is unwarranted. Although I don’t know him and I have not spoken to him, he should not bring unnecessary tension to Yorubaland. We will not accept that.”
