Ironically, that was not even the first betrayal. The first betrayal was Azikiwe NCNC aligning with the North while he left Awolowo's AG nd other smaller Southern waiting for a meeting he had no intent of attending.

Oga that lie has persisted for too long. Zik didn't betray anyone. The British gave a condition for independence that the borders of colonial Nigeria will never be touched. The election had no clear majority between NCNC and NPC and the British said whoever formed a coalition will have majority seats. The North fearing a coalition of the southern parties stated that they will not be interested if that happens. So the British favored the coalition between NCNC and NPC. Oga stop these lies abeg.

Four years later the deluded self styled nationalist would later desperately seek a political alliance with the same AG as a refuge when the NPC had pummeled him badly to a point of no relevance.

Peter Obi's loss is extremely hurting the ibos. We know the sellout right from when Nigeria was created and they still keep licking the fulani's arses till date.

How Ibos Gave The NORTH The Edge To Run NIGERIA

How Zik allegedly betrayed Awo and pitched his tent with the North in 1959.
________________________________________________________

The parliamentary elections were held in Nigeria on 12 December, 1959. The result was a parliament that had no clear majority to form a government.

Zik’s National Council of Nigeria and Cameroon (NCNC) came first with 2,594,577 votes to get 81 seats.

Awolowo’s Action Group (AG), came 2nd with 1,992, 364 votes to get 73 seats.

However, Sir. Ahmadu Bello’s Northern People’s Congress (NPC) came a distant 3rd with 1,922,179 votes to get 134 of the 312 seats in the House of Representatives, despite getting fewer public votes.

The above three major political parties in the election did not get enough seats to form a government. So, an alliance had to be formed to determine who would rule Nigeria. It was a no brainer that Zik’s NCNC and Awolowo’s Action Group should make a coalition government as they came first and second respectively.

Awolowo then humbled himself and volunteered to be a deputy prime minister or finance minister in a coalition government with Zik as the Prime Minister.

This was because Zik’s NCNC party had more public votes and seats than Awolowo’s Action Group.


Zik invited Awolowo’s team to Asaba, the gateway between the Yoruba’s western region and the Igbo’s Eastern region to hold coalition talks.

The talks were a clever ruse to keep Action Group hopes high, so that the party could be kept distracted from meeting with other minor parties for talks. Other junior parties included: Northern Elements Progressive Union with 8 seats: Mobolaje Grand Alliance with 6 seats: Igala Union with 4 seats: Independents Candidate with 4 seats: Igbira Tribal Union with 4 seats and the Niger Delta Congress with 1 seat.

While the Action Group team was waiting in Asaba for a meeting with the NCNC, they read in the newspapers that Zik and the NCNC had gone up North and clinched a deal with Ahmadu Bello on forming a coalition government with the Northern People’s Congress (NPC).

Tafawa Balewa would be the Prime Minister of Nigeria, while ZIk would be a ceremonial, Governor-General.

Even the President of Ghana, Dr. Nkrumah was shocked. He asked why ZIk, having expended so much energy, fighting for colonial emancipation and settling for a toothless bulldog role when Nigeria needed him the most.


_________________________________________________________
Zik wrote in his autobiography why he did not go for a coalition government with Awolowo
_________________________________________________________

In 1947, with over £13,500 raised from the Yoruba people and given to the NCNC. Zik had led other six prominent NCNC delegates to London to protest the obnoxious laws of Governor Arthur Richards.

The trip ended in failure with backbiting, abuses and accusation of theft leveled against Zik.

Zik’s opponents in the NCNC, accused him of squandering the money and the trust of Nigerians. Zik replied, insinuating that the Yoruba in the team, who were: Mrs. Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Prince Adeleke Adedoyin, and Dr Olorunnimbe, were the problem.
There erupted a heated and prolonged press war among Zik’s political associates reminiscence of what happed in his West African Pilot and H.O Davie’s Political Panorama in the Daily Service. The incident spurred the Igbo in Lagos rushing to buy machetes in large numbers, thinking a tribal war was imminent. The Governor and his General Secretary, Hugh Foot quickly called ZIk and H.O Davies to order at the Government House. Zik went away with the resolve that “the Yoruba must not be allowed to rule over others in Nigeria”.

And later, Daily Service published the speech of Zik in 1949 about Igbo being destined by God to conquer and rule over others. That speech, among others, was later to explain why Zik rejected Awolowo’s offer of a coalition government in 1959 and instead decided to work with the FULANI

The Fulani had been reading Zik and the Igbo through the lens of his 1949 speech ever since. The Fulani’s way of neutralizing Zik when the opportunity came in 1959 was to offer him a powerless post, which surprisingly Zik and the NCNC dutifully accepted in place of being Nigeria’s first Prime Minister.

ZIk had thought that the Igbo could easily manipulate the Fulani unlike the educated Yoruba. He thus manipulated Balewa to arrest Awolowo in 1962 and to have him jailed for 10 years in 1963 for treasonable felony.

Zik also manipulated Balewa to remove from the Western Region the Edo, Urhobo, Isekiri and western Ijaw that account for 70% of the oil wealth in Nigeria and created for them Mid-Western Region.


Zik’s hatred for the Yoruba gave the Fulani the impetus to rule over others in Nigeria. The coup plotters tried to rectify Zik’s mistake in 1966. And unfortunately, they killed other ethnic group leaders and left their leaders, which resulted to the civil war.

Britain did not really hand over Nigeria to the Fulani, Nigeria was given over to the Fulani by the Igbo. However, to hold on to power in Nigeria, the Fulani enlisted the backing of the self-serving career politicians in England.

Has the Leopard changed its spots? No. The Igbo people have always voted for the Fulani since 1959 and continue to do so.

So the British held Zik and forced him to choose NPC as coalition partner? How do you even manage to sleep at night after making such spurious claims?

Oga stop lying Zik never said any of that. In the Lancaster conference Zik spike against secession and a unitary system, while Awolowo opted for secession and a federal system, mind you all of them in Lancaster signed that as a requirement for independence that the boundaries of colonial Nigeria must nod be redrawn. So was it not all of them that signed that they will not secede, why call out Zik?

How can I go and read such a book when you Igbos have been claiming all along that Zik led the fight against colonialism in the entire Africa to the extent that the British overlords were afraid of him? Now you claim that the same Zik was coerced by the same British to accept ordinary coalition with NPC supposedly against his will? Zik the almighty independence fighter and Pan-Africanism giant? Don't you see the contradiction? Obviously someone is lying between you who now claim that Zik was coerced into Northern partnership and other Igbos who claim that Zik was an omnipotent anticolonialist. That is the issue here.
