Speaking on AIT yesterday, Yakubu Gowon, the Former Military leader accused Ojukwu of causing
the civil war with his lies.
For Gowon, the lies told by the late
warlord, Odumegu Ojukwu after the Aburi accord led to Biafra civil war, between
1967 and 1970.
He said:
“We agreed to put our heads
together, to regain the trust and confidence of Nigerians. We went to Aburi, to
agree to deal with the situation of our country, by ourselves.
“We did not go with any prepared
position on the federal side, but, Ojukwu came with a paper he prepared. His
prepared position was on a pink paper. Usually, pink paper at the Staff College
is directing staff solution to the problem.”
“But, by the time I returned, I was
ill; I had fever. I could not make any statement. But, Ojukwu went to the
radio, to make a statement and said the things we never agreed on.”
