Sit-at-home: Stay off Yorubaland, Gani Adams warns IPOB leader

The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, has cautioned factional head of the Native Nation of Biafra (IPOB), Simon Ekpa, to stop intends to arrange in Lagos Express, the sit-at-home dissent right now being en-constrained in the South East to press the Central Government for the arrival of the IPOB pioneer, Nnamdi Kanu, from detainment.

Aare Onakakanfo Adams forewarned IPOB against con-templating such a move or at-entice to force IPOB plan on Lagos or some other piece of the South West on the grounds that the district isn't Biafra Republic.

Reports had cited Ekpa as implying in a tweet on Wednesday of plans by IPOB to replicate the sit-at-home in Lagos.

Ekpa was cited as saying that: "Biafrans in Lagos ought to prepare to be essential for the interest to deliver Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We are coming to Lagos after the fourteen-day-long sit at home.

"The time has come to show your fortitude to this call for equity. Biafrans in Lagos will secure. The discussion will begin soon," his tweet apparently read to some degree.

Ekpa had on Tuesday reported that there would be a fourteen-day sit-at-home in the South East.

Yet, Adams, responding to Ekpa's proclamation in a phone interview with Saturday Tribune, forewarned the Finnish-based ethnic disseminator to cease "rehashing the slip-up of the 1970s," and drop the move which he depicted as inappropriate and counterproductive.

The Aare Ona Kakanfo underscored that the South-West isn't important for "their Biafra" Republic and thusly, it was ludicrous for "pariahs to direct or force their plan on individuals of different areas whom they live together with as occupants."

He said: "I can't go toward the South East now and say I need to choose for individuals of that locale. In this way, bringing South-East plan into Yorubaland is preposterous. It would be counterproductive. We exhort him (Ekpa) to drop that thought.

"He shouldn't attempt that. The South West isn't Biafra Republic. Any endeavour to force Biafra Republic plan will be stood up to. He ought to stop rehashing the slip-up of the 1970s. He ought to be extremely, cautious.

"They are qualified for their perspective, however, the  South West isn't their Biafran district. He ought to be extremely, cautious.

"He shouldn't come and force his own plan on the South West. It is inappropriate, it is ridiculous. In spite of the fact that I don't have any acquaintance with him and I have not addressed him, he shouldn't carry pointless strain to Yorubaland. We won't acknowledge that."

The Aare Onakakanfo emphasized the place of the South West that Nigeria ought to be re-organized into genuine federalism by which every one of the combining units would be permitted to create at their own speed.

He said: "Our position is valid federalism, that is to say, the rebuilding of Nigeria into areas, for the districts to create at their own speed.

Ekpa, in giving a new danger of another lockdown, had purportedly said the sit-at-home was to request "the quick and unqualified arrival of IPOB pioneer Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who remains wrongfully kept at the DSS prison."

He said: "Following the interest by the Biafra nation for more sit-at-home common noncompliance, the Biafra Republic Government Someplace far off, banished in shame (BRGIE) and Biafra True Government in Country wish to tell Biafrans that there will be a sit-at-home common rebellion beginning from 31 July, 2023 to 14 August, 2023."

The IPOB factional pioneer added that the sit-at-home would be noticed "to discredit the wrongness of the people who march themselves as Nigeria's delegates inside Biafran region."

The new sit-at-home request came closely following South East political pioneers' shut entryway meeting where they made plans to look for crowd with President Bola Tinubu on the security circumstance in the locale.
