Biafra Agitator Condemns Tinubu, Obi As ‘Disgrace’ Over Civil War Legacy.

In a statement shared on his official X handle over the weekend, Ekpa voiced his dissent in response to the birthday tributes made by Tinubu and Obi.
In his tribute, Tinubu acknowledged Gowon’s significant contributions to Nigeria, stating that he served the country with distinction. Similarly, Obi praised Gowon for his “life of service” to Nigeria, highlighting themes of sacrifice, leadership, and unity.
However, Ekpa dismissed these tributes as a “disgrace,” pointing out the many Biafrans who lost their lives due to Gowon’s actions during the Nigerian Civil War from 1967 to 1970. He argued that if Nigeria were a good place, Gowon would not have chosen to live in the United Kingdom instead of returning to his homeland.
In his response to Obi’s comments, Ekpa warned, “Nigeria will happen to you soon. Just as you are proudly claiming it, those who follow you will also face the same fate as others when Nigeria does what it does.”
It is worth noting that Obi faced backlash from his supporters following his tribute to Gowon.

APC Fires Back at Adeleke Over ₦300bn LG Funds Allegation, Blames Governor for Salary Crisis....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to claims by Governor Ademola Adeleke that local government officials under the party diverted about ₦300 billion meant for workers’ salaries.
Adeleke had made the allegation during a stakeholders’ meeting, accusing APC-controlled council officials of hijacking funds and forcing the state government to shoulder salary payments for local government workers, teachers, health staff, and pensioners for over a year.
He insisted he would not abandon workers, blaming the situation for delays in executing some state projects.
But in a statement, APC’s Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, dismissed the claims, accusing the governor of misleading the public and shifting blame.
The party alleged that Adeleke was responsible for the salary issues, claiming he refused to release electronic payment vouchers and other financial documents needed for processing payments.
APC also said pension-related records, leave bonuses, cooperative deductions, and other financial data had not been made available despite repeated appeals, insisting that funds were properly accounted for and available for use if approved.
The party urged pensioners and workers to seek clarification, insisting the situation could be resolved if the governor allowed due process to take place.
