The new leader took to his social media page and the popular radio Biafra to declare his leadership based on the approval of the incarcerated Supreme leader.

He writes:

Our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi on this day, 8th of July 2021 directed that I, Simon Ekpa should start broadcasting from Radio Biafra with immediate effect.

On this note, it is honour, and at the same time, a call to service, a call to serve Biafra nation and a call to serve lovers of freedom.

This task, I will do with everything in me to see that we maintain the momentum and the legacy of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB.

I will serve with everything in me and i will double my effort in media, diplomacy and otherwise to the best interest of Biafra people.

I am just a servant and i will serve.

Our leader will continue to lead this struggle from where ever he is.

I am Simon Ekpa, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's disciple on Biafra restoration."
