Gani Adams Sends Strong Warning To Ekpa Against Sit-At-Home Protest In Lagos

Aare Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, has warned Simon Ekpa, a factional leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), against organizing a sit-at-home protest in Lagos State.

Ekpa had hinted at plans to replicate the protest in Lagos in a tweet.

Adams, in an interview with The Tribune, emphasized that the South West region is not the Biafra Republic and stated that such an attempt would not be tolerated.

He cautioned Ekpa to learn from past mistakes that led to the Civil War and urged him to drop the move, describing it as counterproductive.

Adams emphasized that he cannot go to the South East and decide for the people of that region, similarly, the Biafra Republic agenda should not be imposed on Yorubaland.

He stated that any attempt to impose the Biafra Republic agenda in the South West would be resisted, and Ekpa should be careful not to bring unnecessary tension to Yorubaland.

Adams concluded by asserting that while individuals are entitled to their opinions, the South West is not the Biafran region, and Ekpa should respect the distinct identities and aspirations of different regions in Nigeria.
