Simon Ekpa, the self-styled disciple of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has declared himself the Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE).
The controversial leader of factional pro-Biafra group, IPOB-Auto Pilot, said in a statement earlier on Tuesday that he emerged the Biafra prime minister in a “tough” election held on April 8.
He also set up a 16-man advisory committee of the BRGIE for positions including Head of Finance and Deputy, Defense Secretary, Home Land Liaison, Diplomatic and Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Health and the Military.
