PoliticsRe: The Lost Legacies Of Brigadier Wellington Umoh Bassey by Dick234(m): 10:04am On Jan 27
Can i get this ebook please?

Christistruth02:
Don't you find it annoying how Wellington Duke Umoh bassey Of Calabar And his Army Career were almost destroyed to make way for his junior Officer Gen Ironsi to Emerge as the Head of Army

azikiwe was supposed to have been fighting for all of bassey's delayed Promotions since bassey was from Calabar in azikiwe's Eastern Region
To add insult to injury they tried to eliminate bassey during the Jan 1966 Coup

Ironsi Got to Power again only to make Ojukwu who was 11 years Basseys Junior Officer the Governor of the Eastern Region

But to be honest azikiwe complained to Ironsi about that one




Below are excerpts From Azikiwe's publication "Origins of the Cjvil War".

Just look at what azikiwe wrote in his book
" Origins of the Nigerian Civil War " on pages 1 and 2 admitting that Gen Ironsi had played the tribalism Card on Wellington bassey to make Ojukwu who was 11 years his Junior Officer the Governor of the Eastern Region
