The Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE), Simon Ekpa, has allegedly written a letter to the Director General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Dr. Ngozi Okonjo – Iweala, formally inviting her to a convention for the declaration and restoration of the Independence of Biafra.
The invitation says she should attend the weeklong convention which begins November 29, 2024 as a ” Biafran and an observer,” adding that all arrangements have been made by BRGIE for her accreditation.
This is coming less than 24 hours after Ekpa denied being the author of an X post which claimed that the WTO – DG helped him to facilitate $57.5Billion loan facility from the World Bank for the BRGIE.
Ekpa’s denial on Thursday through his X handle, came after Okonjo-Iweala reacted to a statement purportedly from him, wherein he allegedly said the World Bank had approved a $57.5 billion loan for Biafra agitation.
“I know no sensible person will believe what is contained in the outrageous tweet below but in these troubled times, it is important to underscore that the statement is false.
“Again, I enjoin all those seeking to misuse my name to desist,” Okonjo-Iweala said.
But reacting, Ekpa said he never made any comment regarding the World Bank loan, attributing the post to the handiwork of nonentities.
“I never tweeted such; it is even surprising that you can tweet this because your name was mentioned. We have been tweeting about the terrorism in Nigeria against your people and you never responded nor showed any remorse.
“Here you are, defending what nonentities did with your name, but have been mute about all the killings by the government you served. I congratulate you for always defending yourself and your integrity, even when they are photoshopped.
“It shows you are a mother. Thank you for defending yourself but I never tweeted such a thing; it is false and fake,” he wrote. 
However, in a latest development a letter dated October 24 and believed to have been written by Ekpa has surfaced, inviting the former Finance Minister to the separatist convention in November this year.
