Controversial Biafra agitator and Separatist, Simon Ekpa has declared that the Democracy Day celebration would no longer occur in the Southeast going forward.
Recall that the Nigerian government declared 12 June as Democracy Day.
Reacting to the Democracy Day celebration, Ekpa, the Finland-based lawyer and Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, said there was no such celebration in Igboland.
In several pictures he posted on his Twitter handle, streets, roads, and markets were without activities on Monday.

‘Ohanaeze doesn’t represent Biafra. They claim to represent Ndigbo that believe in one Nigeria; however, they represent only 1% of the Biafra people. Today, we have defeated them again, as there is no celebration of Nigeria Democracy Day in Biafraland. The Biafra Republic Government has abolished it In Exile. It is what Biafra land looks like today on Nigeria democracy day 12.6.2023’, he wrote.
In another report, Mr. Ekpa, has called on the Department of State Security, DSS, to readmit the two doctors earlier denied access to seeing the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
The Eastern Updates recalls that last week, the DSS denied an independent medical team brought by Kanu’s family members and close associates.
The DSS’s action comes after its medical unit cleared two doctors who intended to treat Nnamdi Kanu’s deteriorating ear condition.
Regarding the development, Ekpa, a Finland lawyer and the Prime Minister of Biafra Republic in Exile, BRGIE, in a statement through his official Twitter handle, called on DSS to permit the Doctor to attend to Nnamdi Kanu.
He condemned the action by some expelled IPOB members to stall the process.
