The apex socio-cultural organisation in Igboland, the
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has urged Simon Ekpa to return the alleged $1million
he collected from his paymasters, to tarnish the chances of the presidential
candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, in the 2023 presidential election.
According to the group, Ekpa would be hunted across the
world to pay for the atrocities he has committed against the South-East
geopolitical zone.
It further observed that the leader of the splitter group of
the Indigenous People of Biafra, was acting the script of those who were
opposed to a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction.
The Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Comrade
Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said this during an interview with The PUNCH, on Tuesday.
He said, “Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has cautioned one Simon
Ifeanyi Njoku Ekpa to return the funds he collected with the evil intent to
destroy the prospects of the Labour Party to win the 2023 presidential election
on February 25, 2023.
“Intelligence reports have it that Simon Ekpa became
frightened that his secrets have been uncovered and he quickly retreated and
withdrew his response to the $50,000 bounty placed on him and has been begging
Ohanaeze Ndigbo in the last 24 hours through the third-parties to reconsider
and review the sanctions as well as drop the bounty placed on him.
“Ndigbo’s response to Simon Ekpa’s plea is that he should
return the $1m to the disfavoured and unpopular presidential candidate he’s
working with. He must quickly return all he had collected (to his paymasters)
in other to destroy the support base of Peter Obi through his old-fashioned
mantra of, ‘No Election in Biafra Land’, and rescind his intentions to declare
a four-day sit-at-home from 22nd to 26th of February 2023 with a view to
disrupt the 2023 presidential elections in the South-East.
“Ndigbo will resist every attempt by Simon Ekpa to scare
away voters in the South-East and South-South through his planned four-day
sit-at-home. Our suspicion was reinforced after Ekpa asked for forgiveness and
we knew that his plans to boycott the elections in southeastern Nigeria were to
stop ‘ObiDient’ devotees from voting for Peter Obi and lessen the strength of
the South-East.
“The 2023 presidential elections must hold in the
South-East, and Ndigbo must vote for whoever is their choice at the polls.
Simon Ekpa must pay back all that he has amassed from the enemies of Ndigbo,
stop his killer squad in southeastern Nigeria, show remorseful repentance and
apologise for the inconveniences caused by his rantings and crooked falsehoods
about Ndigbo.
“Except he abides by this conditions, Ndigbo will smoke him
out of his hideouts at Finland and Europe, as Ndigbo and Nigerians in Finland
and Europe have responded positively on the $50,000 bounty placed on him.
“It’s a matter of time, Simon Ifeanyi Njoku Ekpa will be
apprehended, and his extradition to Nigeria will happen shortly so that he can
answer all the crimes and killings he instigated in the South-East.”
