Yakubu Gowon Celebrates His 86th Birthday Today by lalasticlala(mod): 7:47am On Oct 19, 2020
Yakubu Gowon Turns 86 Today!

General Yakubu "Jack" Dan-Yumma Gowon (born 19 October 1934) is the former head of state (Head of the Federal Military Government) of Nigeria from 1966 to 1975. He ruled during the deadly Nigerian Civil War, which caused the death of almost 3 million people, most which were civilians. He took power after one military coup d'état and was overthrown in another. During his rule, the Nigerian government was able to prevent the Biafran secession during the Civil War, (1967-70).

Happy birthday to you sir.
A detribalised Nigerian and selfless leader.
The book written by General Alabi Isama quoted him saying there should be minimal force during the war since the aim was to keep Nigeria one.
Although, young age played a role in some of the decisions taken at times, he however assembled the best hands during which a war was prosecuted without the country running into debt.
Lagos State with it's myriad of beautiful bridges were all done by him.
Happy birthday to you Jack
