No Igbo man can boast of loving and sacrificing for
Igbo people than Ikemba Dikedioramma
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu. He defended
his people even to the extent of standing the risk of
losing his life. His love for his people particularly
pushed him to going into a civil war with a more
powerful Nigerian side with much foreign supports
and resources. That war unfortunately ended the
lives of millions of people especially those Ojukwu
was fighting for. When all odds were obviously
against him, He gave up and ran out of the country
to safe his own life and that marked the end of the
war.
After 13 years in exile, the Federal Government of
Nigeria under President Shehu Aliyu Usman Shagari
granted an
official pardon to Odumegwu-Ojukwu and he was
welcomed in a heroic way by his people.
With the bitter and unfortunate adventure for Biafra,
Ojukwu gave up on his secessionist plan and
accepted his citizenship of Nigeria wholeheartedly
even to the extent of been an active politician
between 1983 to 2011 against the expectations of
many people. He contested for senate under
National Party of Nigeria in 1983 but was rigged
out. Ojukwu was later arrested by the military
juncta in 1984 but was later released by General
Buhari since he was not charged for any crimes.
Having completely given up on Biafra, Ojukwu
contested as presidential candidate of his party, All
Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for three times
in Nigeria, of course you know the results.
Before his death in 2011, Ojukwu as a Nigerian had
cordial relationships with Nigerians across tribes,
religions and regions.
Sooner after his death, some young Igbos gathered
and started nursing the idea of resurrecting the
Biafran struggle. While no previous governments in
Nigeria seem to have tolerated their agitations, the
secessionist moves seem to have gone to the
highest heights ever with recent sustained protests
within and outside the country, establishment of
Radio Biafra and other efforts at lobbying the
international community especially through
petitions.
The question is this; If Alive, Would Ojukwu Have
Supported Recent Biafra Agitators?
