Was it a verbal agreement or a signed one

But Gowon was not negotiating with a weaker side, the Regions were just as powerful as the Federal Government.The Eastern Region did not recognise Gowon as head of state. Back in the days of Regionalism, you were head of state only if the Regions recognised you as so. Ojukwu never really recognised Gowon as head of state until Aburi. These days, if any state Governor says he doesn't recognise Buhari as President, Buhari can order the nearest division to go and remove that Governor, because the states are small and weak. But back in the days of Regions, a President could not do that because Nigeria was made up of 4 Regions that were huge and strong. Thats why Gowon could not even fire Ojukwu as Governor of the Eastern Region.

The only thing Gowon could do was meet Ojukwu in Aburi for talks. After both men met, discussed and reached and ith agreement which both men signed.

When they came back, Gowon broke the agreement, which left Ojukwu with no choice than to declare Biafra. Gowon could not keep to the agreement he signed because it prevented him and his fellow Northerners from becoming masters of Nigeria.

The North wanted to be masters of Nigeria and the only thing standing in their way was the stubborn Igbos who refused to be cowed. Thats why the war was fought

So what do you think Gowon and his top men went to Aburi to do? To eat kenke and drink palm wine or what? Gowon went to negotiate, agreed on terms, went back to Nigeria and changed his mind. That is not a gentleman or a decent person at all
