It was believed Gowon got wind of a coup is in the pipeline before he left Nigeria for the OAU Summit. His kinsman Col. Joseph Nanven Garba (Joe Garba) was the Commander, Brigade of Guards then. When Gowon was about to enter the presidential jet going to Kampala, the last words he said was to Garba at the Airport

"He said, Joe, I am not accusing you of working with others to topple my government, but please If that is the case, ensure there is no blood shed"

Garba replied, nothing like that Sir, everyone to my knowledge is loyal to you including my humble self. They shook hands and he left for Kampala.

NEWS FLASH

Joe Garba was the man who announced the ouster of Gen. Gowon At FRCN Lagos, lmao
for real??!!!!!!

I do not know what the facts of the moment were in 1975, and why Gowon put up a feeble resistance. That alone is known to him and Garba!

angry cheesy

Looks so much like a pre planned event. I feel like the so called "bloodless coup" was staged with the full cooperation of Gowon. He looked so happy and relieved in this video to be considered a victim of power play. On the contrary he looked and sounded so upbeat and readily supportive of the change.

This does not feel or look like a coup at all.

The least a weak victim of coup would have done was to lie low. A strong victim would mount resistance. But legitimizing and rallying support for a junta that just overthrew your government? Very so on unheard of. This is massively suspicious.

While listening, Goodluck Jonathan came to my mind . They have same meek spirit, not really plan but to avert bloodshed

Many don't know that Muritala Mohammed was from Auchi, Edo state. He converted to Islam. Just like Asari Dokubo was born as Uchedimma and changed his name to Asari Muhajideen Bin Dokubo. When they saw he finally understood what One Nigeria was all about...a food for foreign powers, he did like Abacha and started shutting them down. The Biafran blood in him finally came to lug but was too late. Hausa-Fulani dealt with him

Lier ,Murtala is From Vom a Village in Jos that has no single Muslim but because he his Muslim he claimed to be from Kano like Abacha
Murtala later was killed by same Plateau man Dimka from Gowon Tribe and local government. Murtala executed 42 Gallant army Christian officers, 29 were from Plateau State

Gowon was born and bred in Zaria and not Plateau. He has more of a Hausa fulani man's mentality. Take this from a Plateau person.
His parents left Plateau to Zaria as missionaries (Anglican)

Here's Gowon giving press release in Uganda after Murtala Mohammed overthrew him as Head of State.

Gowon was attending OAU meeting in Uganda when the bloodless coup took place.

He never returned to Nigeria until the death of Murtala.

I watched this with mixed feelings. I think it's beyond being a gentleman. He probably did it to secure his life. But it looks cowardly. Even if you cannot forcibly reclaim your government you can just lay low and keep quiet.
But coming to a press conference, smiling sheepishly and endorsing an illegitimate government?
even his own government was an illegal one too. he was simply used by the northern muslims and the western man who should have got the post after ironsi chickened out. ojukwu refused to acknowledge gowon as head of state and was for that yoruba man to enter, cos gowon was even junior to ojukwu and should not be the one there. all this happened even when ironsi body has not been found and confirmed dead officially. ojukwu's position was ; at least tell the nation what happened if the head of state is dead tell us officially and let the highest ranking officer from the west enter. and all hell was let loose

Tribalism has eaten most of you up from the inside to the outside. That guy you quoted isn't from the East, his name is even an Akwa Ibom name, yet all that came to you was your innate hatred for everything Igbo. Look at his name again and then read your comment again and see if it makes sense.

Moreover, who is "we"? You are just a single citizen with a single vote and you are not one of the power brokers. Most importantly, you are not God. When it's time people who were previously neglected will be remembered. How did Jonathan become president? It was by providence.

All of you on NL saying "Yoruba will not rule, Igbo will not rule, North will continue to rule," are just making noise. None of you have the power to decide the fate of Nigeria.

Anybody can use any moniker to disguise on NL but by their comment we shall know them. Wish I had the time to explain things to Biafria E- warrior, however, let me state this fact been God or Not, Igbo doesn't have business in Aso rock, not in 50yrs time. Maybe their next generation will go close if they haven't fed them with hate.
