IPOB PRESS RELEASE
21/07/2021
The global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has observed with regrets, that
Mazi Simon Ekpa whom our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu gave an appointment and duty
to start broadcasting on Radio Biafra doesn't want to follow the laid down
rules of operation in Radio Biafra. Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu gave the
directive while in detention but Mazi Simon Ekpa has refused to follow the
principles.
Mazi Simon Ekpa has refused to sign the rules of engagement and
code of conduct guiding those broadcasting on Radio Biafra. We don't understand why Mazi Ekpa would not
like to follow the steps of other broadcasters on the platform who have since
done the needful.
IPOB is a big movement, and cannot just change the rules
because of one individual as this may set a bad precedence. Mazi Simon Ekpa is
a hardworking Biafran whose immense contributions towards the restoration of
Biafra are highly appreciated, but for not signing the code of conduct as a
broadcaster on Radio Biafra, he may not continue to have the opportunity of
broadcasting via the platform.
This decision was not intended to ridicule or undermine
anyone but to prove to all that due process cannot be compromised in IPOB. IPOB
is a well-structured movement where the activities of members are regulated
with well-thought-out rules. No one should act in a way that suggests that the
laws are meant for a certain group of people.
While Mazi Simon Ekpa has the right to make his broadcasts
on Facebook and other platforms of his choice, he may no longer broadcast on
Radio Biafra as one of the official broadcasters.
