Name Aso Rock After Gen Aguiyi Ironsi, Ohanaeze Youths Urge Buhari


FIFTY years after the first military
coup d’état which tragically claimed the life of
the then Head of State, Late General Johnson
Thomas Aguiyi Ironsi, Ohanaeze Youth
Council, OYC, has called on the Federal
Government to immortalise the slain Head of
State.
Ohanaeze Youths argued that the late Ironsi staked his life for the unity of the country and
therefore deserved to be immortalized and given his proper place in the annals of Nigerian
history.
Ohanaeze Youth Council, in a press statement issued by its National President, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, expressed great regret that 50 years after his tragic death, the Federal
Government was yet to immortalise Ironsi
“who staked his life to unite Nigeria”.
OYC suggested that the Federal Government
should “name the nation’s seat of power, Aso
Rock after the late Head of State in
recognition of his invaluable sacrifices for the
unity of Nigeria.”
According to the statement, while the
masterminds of the heinous act “are still
moving around and parading themselves as
statesmen, the members of Aguiyi Ironsi's
family have continued to wallow in pains and
poverty.”
OYC therefore enjoined the Federal and as
well as the various State Governments to give
attention to the welfare of the family to
assuage their pains.
Meanwhile, the Aguiyi Ironsi family is
organizing a memorial service in Umuahia to
mark the 50 years anniversary of the tragic
death of their father.
According to the matriarch of the family and
wife of the late General, Lady Victoria Aguiyi
Ironsi, a church service will hold today at the
Mater Dei Catholic Cathedral, Umuahia, which
will be followed by a reception at the family
house.

First, the coup that claimed Gen Ironsi's life wasn't the first coup in Nigeria—it was the second coup.

Second, I don't agree with the immortalization of past military leaders. Their time in office was an aberration. Their actions and inactions while in office are still being felt till today. In fact, if I had my way, I would expunge their names from the list of past leaders of the country.

Dem no go gree stop agitation

because why ??


Because some magas still dey change their live savings to Biafraudian pound

Because some magas still dey collect Biafraudian passport

Because some Politicians wey no want make them arrest dem go still dey sponsor hopeless youths


the more they join though , they more they drop

evil people want to keep the country in constant trouble so they can continue to make money

and we know it

If they cant just forget about the BiafNonsense, Let them drown in the lagoon joor.


Why should we name our unity spot after one ogogoro drinker who took government by force.... ? Mtcheew

What had JTU Aguiyi contributed to the development of our nation, the few months he was the leader?

Someone who refused executing the first coup plotters terminated the lives of the first republic political and military leaders because majority of them are of his extraction.
Introduced Decree 34 which brought about a Unitary system of government ending the Federal system we are all craving to be restored.

What significant thing was even done in the SE to immortalize him

The word Biafra is like pressing Afonja's panic button...why?
