Simon Ekpa Is A Content Creator, Not IPOB Member ----- Emma Powerful
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has clarified that Simon Ekpa is not a member of the organization, urging Nigerians to disassociate his alleged actions from IPOB, as Ekpa has publicly identified himself as a content creator, not a Biafran agitator.
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has urged Nigerians and the people of Biafra in particular, to stop associating the alleged attrocities of the detained Finland- based lawyer, Simon Ekpa to the IPOB, noting that Ekpa, himself has denied membership of the organisation, stating that he was a content creator and not a Biafran agitator. This was contained in a statement titled, "We Suggest That These Individuals Associating Content Creators To IPOB, To Please, Conduct Minor Research Into The Speech And Public Statements By The Creator In Finland," on Sunday by the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Comrade Emma Powerful.
The statement read, "The global family and movement of the IPOB cautions some media houses to stop insulting IPOB by attaching someone, who has on several occasions said he is not an IPOB member to the movement.
"IPOB had severely disassociated itself from the Content Creator, in the media, both locally and internationally including associated global movements from print and electronic media houses from attaching those autopilots and their Biafra government in Exile including their current prime minister in Exile. We warn those media houses attaching the content creator to please stop doing suththnthht unborn h, they are not IPOB members and can never be. IPOB and its leader Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu are different people, not members of government in Exile. ..
"If the purpose of these traducers in some sections of the print and electronic media is to pander to a warped sentiment that seeks to demean and demonise IPOB for the benefit of Fulani killer herdsmen and their sponsors, then they have failed. "Simon Ekpa is a self confessed content creator and the head of a group of social media content creators known as Autopilots which were never part of the IPOB structure.
"So why the persistence in attaching somebody who declared publicly that he is not a member of IPOB to the peaceful movement?
"IPOB's pursuit of self determination through the instrumentality of a UN supervised referendum is our only stated mission.
"Any entity or media house attaching or forcibly ascribing IPOB membership to nonentities or whomsoever they like are only being mischievous and not intereated in true journalism.
"We suggest that these individuals associating content creators to IPOB to please conduct minor research into the speech and publicly stated utterances of these clueless and uninformed individuals masquerading as Autopilots to ascertain once and for all that they are not part of IPOB."
