Simon Ekpa has broken his silence following reports that the federal government is planning to work with the European Union to extradite him.
The Defence Headquarters, DHQs had 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.
While reacting, the Prime Minister of BRGIE in a statement on X on Wednesday, urged officials of the Nigerian government to participate in the upcoming Biafra Convention in Finland.
He wrote: “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.”
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.
