Ekpa further declared in the video that the South-East area will not host the 2023 elections, citing it as a “sacrifice” that the people of Biafra must make.

Additionally, he stated that “ending Nigeria” must be accomplished by 2023.

The caption reads, “To end Nigeria in 2023 is a task that must be done! There will be no general election in Biafraland in 2023, it is a sacrifice and a task that must be done by all Biafrans across the globe.

Meanwhile, Nigerians from all over the world are signing a petition urging the Finnish government, the Nigerian government, and the European Union to arrest Simon Ekpa, the person responsible for the five-day sit-at-home order that recently resulted in the deaths of numerous South-East citizens.

In a widely shared video, Ekpa, a self-declared leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, had commanded residents of the South-East to observe a sit-at-home protest from December 9 to 14 — a law that has been enforced in the area with bloodshed and the ruin of people’s lives and properties.

Violence has persisted in the area despite IPOB’s denials of ever issuing a sit-at-home order on the days in question through its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful.
