Simon Ekpa, a proponent of the Biafra movement, has declared that any directives issued by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) will not be adhered to in the Southeast region.
Ekpa, who is a lawyer based in Finland and serves as the Prime Minister of the Biafra Government Republic in Exile (BRGIE), made this statement on Tuesday via his verified Twitter account.
He asserted that the realization of the Biafra referendum is gradually taking shape and contended that any instructions coming from the Nigerian authorities would not be respected in the Southeast.
“The Nigeria Labour Congress order will not be respected in Biafra territory; any order from any Nigeria establishment is not welcomed in Biafra.
“We are gradually moving to self-governance, which will later lead to self-referendum. When we are ready for this, the world will be notified. Follow the liberation of Biafra step by step as we do the magic”, he wrote.
NLC had on Monday night suspended its planned strike over fuel subsidy removal, which led to a petrol increment from N197 per litre to over N500.
In another development, Ekpa was listed among international politicians who endorsed former United States President Donald Trump’s 2024 Presidential bid.
