seunmsg: Arrested members of the Jan 15 coup sought refuge in Biafra . Why did Awo not seek refuge in the yeast but instead was flown immediately to meet with Gowon ? One will think that Gowon being HoS had the sole powers to grant a pardon and not Ojukwu. If Gowon had not pardoned Awolowo and ordered for his release ,Awo would have been rearrested and thrown into Kirikiri. These Ibos can not lie and there is no point arguing with these pathological liars. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

gidgiddy: Calabar was not and will never be Biafra . You should know how Effik people chased you out of their land . Do you expect Ojukwu to openly oppose releasing Awo ? The fool dropped the ball and when Gowon excersiced his powers to grant a pardon, Ojukwu will begin lying that he was the one that released Awo. Simple question: Was Awo convicted and sentenced by Eastern Nigeria or the federal government of Nigeria ? If Ojukwu had released Awo, do you think Gowon won't have thrown Awo in jail the minute he returned back to Lagos ? Dey use your 2 functional brain cells once in a while. 9 Likes |

goodnessme1: The head of prison service takes order from Gowon and not Ojukwu. That a prison was located in that Easter region part of Nigeria does not make it under the control of the Eastern region government. That a federal agency is located in a state doesn’t mean the state governor is in charge of the agency. If you want to give credit to Ojukwu, you can simply say he had the “power” to stop Awolowo from being released from Calabar prison but decided not to do so. That’s the credit he can get. Gowon ordered the release of Awolowo and immediately appointed him the Vice Chairman of the Federal Executive Council and Minister of Finance. If Gowon did not order his release, he would have been immediately rearrested in Lagos and not made the de facto prime minister. 8 Likes |

gidgiddy: You and your Ojukwu alongside everything breathing in your yeast are pathological liars. If Ojukwu had the powers to grant Awo a pardon why then was Awo driven straight from Calabar prison to Dodan Barracks , Lagos to meet with Gowon? There is an official gazette of Gowon granting Awolowo his freedom. Can you publish any document showing Ojukwu gave the order to have Awo released ? 7 Likes 1 Share |

ChiefJusticeFuc: You're one of the animals in the zoo called Nigeria. Awolowo was sentenced to prison by the west and north. Ojukwu never recognized gowon as head of state. Ojukwu allowed northern and western indigenous soldiers to leave Biafra and also freed your hero awolowo 3 Likes 1 Share |

ChiefJusticeFuc:As at the time Awolowo was released, both Ojukwu and Gowon were Lt. Colonels and Ojukwu never recognised Gowon as his superior and as such didn't take orders from him. Gowon couldn't have ordered Ojukwu to release Awolowo from Calabar Prison and send him to Lagos. Only Ojukwu had the power to do so. Gowon even mentioned it in the decree he issued on 27th May, 1967- 9 months after Awolowo was released from the prison in Eastern Nigeria. Gowon became the C-in-C on 27th May, 1967 and was promoted to Major General on the 1st of June, 1967. Know your history and don't allow hatred to kill you. 3 Likes 3 Shares

Gidgiddy , can you post the official statement declaring Awolowo free by Ojukwu? I will post Gowon's official edict declaring Awo pardoned. In the event you can't find any official document by Ojukwu freeing Awo as you claim which I want to believe you will claim was lost during the war, kindly furnish us with archival press publications of Ojukwu freeing Awolowo. I am waiting. 6 Likes |
