OJUKWU MISINFORMED NIGERIANS
ON ABURI ---Gowon
Nigeria’s wartime leader, Yakubu
Gowon, a retired general, has
accused Chukwuemeka
Odumegwu Ojukwu, who led
eastern Nigeria in an
unsuccessful secession bid in
1967, of misrepresenting the
Aburi Accord to Nigerians. The
accord was reached at a meeting
held between January 4-5, 1967,
in Aburi, a Ghanaian town,
between delegates of the federal
military government and the now
defunct eastern region as part of
efforts to prevent the looming
civil war in the aftermath of the
1966 military coups. Ojukwu,
then a colonel and governor of
the eastern region, had returned
from Aburi announcing that it
had been agreed that the
country should adopt
confederalism — a political
system in which every region
would essentially be a country on
its own with only a symbolic
national government. But
speaking on Friday at the launch
of a four-part biography on
President Goodluck Jonathan,
Gowon said he had to correct an
impression created in the book
by the author, Charles Imokhai, a
reverend father. Gowon said
Ojukwu’s statement on the Aburi
Accord was contrary to what
was discussed. He said: “I have
seen that you (Imokhai) have
gone back in history in your
research when Ojukwu and
myself had the Aburi Accord. “I
was fascinated by that because I
can assure you that that meeting
was to break the ice and for all of
us, the military leaders at the
time, be allowed to be able to
agree to be discussing our
problems in Nigeria and to solve
them. “What happened to us at
Aburi was that I couldn’t make it
down (to Nigeria) because I was
unfortunately down with a fever.
“Ojukwu got back (before me)
and made a statement and that
wasn’t what we discussed and
that was the beginning of the
misunderstandin g. “Since you
presented that we had a
meeting, I thought I should make
that comment and to correct
that.” Nigeria eventually went to
war in May of that year after
different interpretations of the
Aburi Accord and failed peace
moves. Ojukwu died in
November 2011.

Igbo people get sense ne?

Why do you choose to explain that now? Don't worry Buhari won't prosecute you, you are too old.

What really is the point of talking about a dead man when he has no right of response?

Gowon should live with the consequence of the choices he has made in life

The failures of his leadership is why we are still struggling to make progress as a Nation

Gowon's Problem was illiteracy that is still ravaging his
people and the northerners. He could not understand simple
English up till now.

No difference between Gowon and Abokkis.
You and your people are butchered everyday
by your own stupidity. keep waiting for interpretation of your meeting in Aburi.

GEJ till Gowon liberates himself and his people from Abokkis.

Lagos for you
Lagos for all
Jk For Lagos

Gej till 2091 sori 2019
