‘Don’t repeat mistake of 1970s’, Gani Adams warns Simon Ekpa against planned sit-at-home in Lagos

The Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Adams, has reacted to a threat by self-proclaimed Prime Minister of Biafran Republic Government In Exile, Simon Ekpa, to declare a two-week sit-at-home in Lagos.

The Finland-based Ekpa, a factional leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), had in a statement on Thursday, said a two-week sit-at-home would be imposed in Lagos at the end of the one he ordered in the South-East which is scheduled to commence on July 31st as part of actions to demand the release of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

But while reacting to the threat in a statement on Saturday, the former leader of the O’odua Peoples Congress (OPC), called on Ekpa to perish such thoughts as he would be “repeating the mistake of the 1970s.”
