The Ohaneze Ndi Igbo has said that the group does not recognise Simon Ekpa as the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The group also confirmed that it only recognizes Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in detention as the IPOB leader.
The Vice President of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo Worldwide, Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene, at a press conference said that it will listen to Kanu and support him to ensure his release.
Describing Kanu as an Igbo son, the group said it expects the IPOB leader would identify his boys for them to work with.
“All these emergency leaders emerging here and there have not come to our notice. Sometimes, when you listen to Nnamdi Kanu, we still support him and believe that if he is released, he will tell us who his boys are.
“Because it is not a one-man movement, we still interact with him, and he is part and parcel of us. He is an Igbo son.
“This issue of Simon Ekpa is unknown to me and to Ohaneze Ndigbo. What we are concerned about is the release of Nnamdi Kanu, and if he is released, it would help us in Igbo land a great deal.
“In a structure, you must have an arrowhead. There are many setups within the IPOB issue, and many people have started claiming that they are Mr. IPOB. But the IPOB that we know is Nnamdi Kanu.”
The Ohanaeze leader also queried why the group should be concerned about the arrest of Ekpa in Finland.
“You and I know that if his views represent what would bring Biafra, we know that no one would want to be part of that kind of Biafra.
“We should be very cautious and consider the lives of his brothers and sisters, because Nnamdi Kanu has been consistent and he is the leader of IPOB,” Ohanaeze’s vice president said.
