The Governor of Ebonyi State David Nweze Umahi, has recounted the self-acclaimed member of the Indigenous People of Biafra Simon Ekpa, as a marauder instructing terrorists to thwart the South East region.

Nweze disclosed this on Thursday, December 15 2022, while addressing relevant stakeholders and party members of the All Progressives Congress. Further bemoaning the effect of their activities in the State.

“When this turbulence for Biafra started, I told them that this issue would go beyond their leader. And today, it has gone beyond Nnamdi Kanu.”

Currently, we have another bandit they call Simon Ekpa. Is this the Biafra they longed for? To be killing themselves and ousting others? That’s why we kept shouting in the heat of the catastrophe that Ebonyi State can never be part of Biafra, and we still maintain our stance.”
