Autopiloters were recruited by Nigeria serving politicians. Nigeria politicians have millions of youths under their payroll. They pay them token and gift them data. They are called e-rats.
When MNK was abducted, they planned to create another leader for IPOB. They found their candidate in one of their own who dumped e~rating after 2019 presidential election to embrace agitation for Biafra. The rigging by APC against Atiku whom is Ekpa's preferred candidate did the magic. It is certain that Ekpa wouldn't have joined Biafra agitation, had it been Atiku won. He would have been given one post or the other.
The Nigeria media have started positioning him as IPOB leader immediately the news of MNK's extraordinary rendition broke. Many news that broke referred to him as new IPOB leader. And the young man also tried to fit in by changing his method of broadcasting, to include giving orders and subtle orders. Something he never did when MNK was around. He went on to suggest that the burden be lifted off from MNK's shoulder and put on his. This is him trying to become Leader from the back door.
Don't forget that the young man first declared that the struggle have entered AUTOPILOT. This implies that the struggle have become leaderless. This is him and his handlers nurturing ground for a takeover. Many people that didn't understand this things rose up in support of it. They laid claim to the Monday Sit At Home, stating that it is Autopilot. This is a sit at home declared by the DOS. This is a sit at home we all frowned at its cancelation. Even DOS said they initially refused to cancel it when they got the message, because the message came very late... close to a Monday. One thing these recruits knew very well is when to take advantage. Well, I am not surprised, they know the game. Are they all not e~rats whose job is lying for politicians.
The reason the Governors and politicians asked their e-rats to become Autopilot was to give the impression that Ekpa has followers and that Biafrans are behind him. We saw people that have nothing related to Biafra on their walls posing as MNK's supporters. Their assignment was to pretend to love Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, declare support for Ekpa and bash IPOB leadership. It is a contradiction they intended to sustain through accusation. They continuously accused DOS of betraying MNK and not doing enough to have MNK released.
A certain Nelly Offoegbu was the chief accuser. She was sacked from IPOB by DOS, but Ekpa proclaimed that nothing will make him stop working with Nelly Offoegbu. He made it look like DOS was trying to shut Nelly up. But the truth is that both Nelly Offoegbu and Simon Ekpa were recruited by the same people to do the job they recruited them to do.
Their job was to destroy the struggle by derailing it. Use millions of e-rats as Biafrans to force out DOS, make Ekpa the new leader and then introduce their Idu madness. These games were decoded by genuine IPOB members and they all fought to stop them. Today, it is clear they all have been exposed. All their plans failed woefully. Soon the e-rats to Nigeria politicians will start removing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's pictures as their profile picture and face zoo politics. Only then will the few IPOB members they fooled will realise how much foolish they were.
