DomPerignon:
Firstly, Abure wasn't a peace summit as widely circulated over the years by the Upper Iwaeka pseudo historians.

Abure was a make shift venue of the then Supreme Military Council chaired and headed by Gowon with other regional military governors, the Inspector General of Police and the Heads of the Navy and Army in attendamce.

Abure was chosen as a venue because Ojukwu refused to attend any of their previous meetngs that were held Lagos and Benin.

Ojukwu cited security concerns for his own safety as reasons why he will not be in attendance in any meeting held in Nigeria and insisted that the next council meeting should be held in Enugu or he won't be in attendance.

Abure was chosen to placate Ojukwu to attend


Abure wasn't a peace meeting but a Security Counsel headed by Gowon

Now imagine that Abacha or IBB summoned a Security Council meeting and a military governor refused to attend citing security threat to his life . will that officer not be thrown in court martialed and jailed instantly for direct insubordination?

Being a Military dictatorship headed by Gowon, the Supreme Military council only offered advice to the HoS and not in anyway a joint decision making board .

Ojukwu did not recognise Gowon as HoS and that is why he refused to obey Gowon's command or recognise his authority


By the way, no one elected Ojukwu or Gowon in the first place and any agreement made in Abure during the illegal Supreme Military council meeting was not binding to any one in Nigeria .

Same Ojukwu who applauded Ironsi seizing power for himself after Orizu and Zik refused to swear in the deputy PM but went on air to hand over to their brother Ironsi .

Same Ojukwu who was the only Military Governor to welcome the Zik dictated Decree 34 passed by Ironsi can not be crying over Abure because on what authority did Orizu draw to hand over to Ironsi in the first place and what powers did Ironsi have to abolish the constitutionally recognized regions and also discard our constitution at independence?

Ohaneze is only angry that the then young Gowon alongside David Ejoor put an end to their tribal agenda
Yorubas Keep writing and writing to change the narrative of Biafran story. Their reason for that, I don't know but it keeps making Igbos understand who the real enemy is. Even today, Yorubas are agitated and hateful at the mention of Biafra and Nnamdi Kanu more than any other tribe or ethnic group in the world. One day , they will bring up another fat lie on how it was not Awo who brought up the Idea of starving Biafran families through blockade. How people who did all such evil yet still want to remain in the same country with Igbos is really amazing. But, their reason for hating Igbos who are genuinely pursuing independence/Biafra, I don't know. I only know one clear fact, which is they can't expressly state what they have benefitted from one Nigeria since it was created. All I see are people who are not courageous enough of their survival without other tribes the British lumped them with.

Kindly read Frederick Forsyth and other foreign journalists on what really happened about Biafra and stop trying in vain to sell lies from Nigerians who are no longer proud of their people's role and trying everything to appear clean.

If everyone did so right except Ojukwu over the Biafran story, why did Nigerian government ban history in schools? Guess they thought their new generation lies would become believable

Aburi accord was to try and prevent a war, the crisis had already started. The accord was not the beginning of the crisis
Crisis is different from war. There was crisis, but not war. Aburi was to end the crisis, and an agreement was reached, and signed

Only for Gowon to return, pour fuel over the crisis by going back on the agreement, which escalated the crisis to war

People were already dying. It’s like what ipob was doing under Nnmadi but worse because they had seized state assets and infrastructure. Any head of state worth their onions will send in troops

Ojukwu felt slighted he was skipped for head of state as a senior officer. That’s the beginning. Ego

Macphenson:
When your treacherous Awolowo came out of prison and was invited by Gowon to join his government, Soyinka took Ukonu to him to remind him that he shoulld not form alliance with the north that jailed him. He told him that while he was in prison, Ukonu was seceretly broadcasting from Awolowo's office against his jailers, risking his life calling for Awolowo's release.

Few days before Ojukwus declerarion, he met Awolowo out of respect secretly at night to tell him that the east have decided to secede, to which Awolowo also promised to do same but the tracherous entity went and formed alliance with the north that jailed him.

Google Gowons Decree 14 and 15 where Gowon abolished the four Regions Nigeria had and created 12 states, then appropriated all resources to the centre

It was a terrible betrayal of the Aburi agreement

How can Gowon go to Aburi and sign an agreement to give the four Regions that made up Nigeria greater powers, only to return to Nigeria and abolish those four Regions altogether?
Google is not a reliable source, bozo. Folks like you regularly alter information online, especially on Wikipedia. Besides, Ironsi had used a decree to previously destroy the regional government that our political forefathers had instituted with the blessings of Britain. It was working, but because of greed, ethnic supremacist agenda and megalomania of leaders of a certain section of the country, the system was destroyed. What Gowon did was to answer the prayers of "minority" ethnic groups in the old Eastern region who wanted out from Ibo hegemony and subjugation.

No Evidence

There are documents about Nigeria over 100 years ago

You are telling us Ojukwu has no evidence of the so called Aburi Accord he claims he signed with Gowon?

Who signed as witness

That is the Igbo way. To tell stories and argue sentimentally without evidence

The documents the Germans signed when they surrendered in 1945 still exist

The documents for the creation of Nigeria still exist

Yet you are telling us Ojukwu and Gowon signed an agreement and the Iboes have no copies


All you have is

PLENTY EXPLANATION

Oga, stop referring people to the propaganda narratives that your people uploaded online and go and read books written by people who were part of Ojukwu's cabinet, guys who were part of the civil service and government who were of the minority extraction, not that Chinua Achebe liar or Chuba Okadigbo, so you can learn what really happened. Go and read the book written by Nebo Graham Douglas. Gowon agreed to and issued the decrees that granted 95% of what Ojukwu demanded for but , to the disbelief of the latter who then claimed that it was already too late and that he was going to war. Ojukwu had an ambition and he used Ibos as cannon fodder, firewood to burn the inferno of his ambition.

The trip is evidence of what ? That Ojukwu agreed to go back home and be a good boy?

What was the substance of the agreement
Who signed it and who was the witness

Without a document any one can come out and claim anything

To say the trip is evidence is the kind of immature argument adult Ibo men make. You often talk like children

The word is RENEGE and not RENEGADE

I do not expect OMATAs to know that

Look at Gowon in his 90's still lying about Aburi because he knows he caused the war. Aburi was such an important matter that it was hosted by the then President of Ghana, General Joe Ankrah. After the meeting and Gowon and Ojukwu reached an agreement, they signed the agreement in front of Ankrah. General Ankrah was so happy, he shook hands with Gowon and Ojukwu, popped champagne, drank with both of them, before taking Gowon and Ojukwu outside to the Press to announce that an agreement had been reached and signed. The pictures are below

Ankrah would ride in the same car with Ojukwu and Gowon to the Airport to see them off

Little did Ankrah know that Gowon would return to Nigeria and deny the agreement, which caused war. All Ankrahs effort at peace were destroyed by Gowon

No photo of them

ACTUALLY SIGNING SOMETHING?


This is the kind of photo one would expect

Looks like they went to Aburi for a chat and drinks, nothing formal was agreed

Re: Ohanaeze Accuse Gowon Of Causing The Civil War by aribisala0(m): 6:56pm On Jun 20, 2025
How can such an important document be signed and there was no photograph of the signing?

No copy of the signed document

The only thing it proves is how Naive and crude Ojukwu was.

Nigeria was under military rule governed by the Supreme Military Council. A coup that Gowon did not plan or execute brought him to power and he would agree an accord like that without ratification by the SMChuh


That makes plenty of sense inside an Ibo head
Re: Ohanaeze Accuse Gowon Of Causing The Civil War by Jlow2: 7:16pm On Jun 20, 2025
It’s simple gowon never understood what confederation meant at that time, armed with semi illiterate military governors like him whom only went to secondary schools and military trainings , ojukwu a graduate from Oxford understood better armed with only few notes at aburi , when gowon and his bunch of semi illiterate s went back to Nigeria a federal commissioner a Benin prince whom later became Oba of Benin) explained to gowon that the documents he signed has actually made the center weak and gave more powers to the regions , gowon renegades from the agreement and created more states from the eastern region , ojukwu on his own side declared Biafra as an independent state, the war became inevitable, that was why when gowon was overthrown, he went straight to England from Uganda to get a degree, it might seem funny but that just the simple way to explain the truth, even at old age gowon keeps lying, very unfortunate. But the records are there, go and read the aburi accord.
