For those who will Vote hear this Dateline January 1970: Genera Gowon ended the civil war and declared 'No Victor, No vanquished'. He introduced the policy of the triple R. An acronym for Reconciliation, Reconstruction and Rehabilitation in a bid to re- integrate back the Igbos and Biafrans into the Nigerian Society. Dateline 1980: President Shehu Shagari granted pardon to exiled Igbo military leader Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and he returned home for re-integration as his people celebrated this move as a means of unifying the country. Shagari also pardoned all Igbo soldiers who defected from the Nigerian Army to the Biafran Army.The Igbos made Ojukwu 'Ezegburugbru 1 of Igbo land'. Meaning the king of igbo land. Dateline 1983; As Shehu Shagari began his second tenure, a group of officers led by General Buhari struck and took power violently. They accused the political class of being corrupt. But Umaru Dikko clearly said the purpose of the coup was to stop Alex Ekwueme an Igbo from taking over from his boss, Alhaji Shehu Shagari. Dateline 1983: General Buhari came into power and clamped Odumegwu Ojukwu into jail. Ojukwu was never a political office holder and couldn't have stolen public funds. He was not charged for any offence and this led him to write the famous book 'Because Im involved' and a poem titled 'Kirikiri sermons" Dateline 2012: ''Jonathan has ended the civil war' (Igbo nation) FORTY-TWO years after the Nigerian civil war ended, the Igbo nation declared yesterday that the impressive manner in which the Federal Government and the entire Nigerian nation accorded the leader of the defunct Biafran Republic, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu a befitting burial with full military honours, has confirmed that the war has actually ended. The Igbos felt once more like Nigerians. Dateline 2013: President Jonathan converted the dismissal of Nigerian soldiers who fought on the Biafran side to retirement and re-integrated the pardoned soldiers into the military pension scheme. Old abandoned soldiers have begun to receive their pensions as at August this year. Dateline 2013: The Chairman of the Buhari campaign organisation followed his Lagos state counterpart and deported Igbos in large numbers. The idiocy of this action is that the actors forgot that they don't control the entrance and exit into their states. Dateline 2014 : Chairman of Buhari campaign organisation in a rally said ''Goodluck Jonathan has developed Abia and Imo state while abandoning Rivers state, Are we Biafrans?'' (The word Biafra here is used as a derogatory word against Igbos) Who amongst the leaders attempted to derail the process of re-integration, national unity and national building? Who amongst this leaders took concrete steps to begin the re-integration and nation building process? Judge them with your Votes. Think. Drop emotions and party affiliations Vote only those who love and promote the unity of this country. Written by: (Ken Agala) |
