As I had forecast,the NPC won the majority of seats in the House of Representatives.The NCNC came next in the number of seats won and the Action Group came last.There followed political manoeuvres for the formation of a new federal government.

The Action Group sent emissaries to the NCNC and a four man team of the Action Group arrived at my home in Asaba at about 2 O'clock one morning, informing me that they had been sent by their party to meet Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and the NCNC to discuss a coalition government between the NCNC and Action Group.

I was to lead them to Dr Azikiwe who was then at his home across the River Niger at Onitsha.I telephoned Dr Azikiwe and at about 6am ,the Action Group delegates and I crossed the Niger by ferry to Onitsha (the Niger Bridge had not yet been built).

After a short discussion with Zik in his home at Onitsha an NCNC Central Working Committee was summoned to meet at Onitsha.During the ensuing discussion on a possible coalition with the Action Group in the Federal Parliament,Sir Ahmadu Bello,Sardauna of Sokoto and the leader of the NPC phoned Dr Azikiwe from Kaduna and informed him that he had with him Action Group emissaries who were asking to form a coalition government with the NPC.

Dr Azikiwe informed Sir Ahmadu that the Action Group were at Onitsha with us too.That was too much for the NCNC and NPC and it was decided that the coalition must be between the NPC and NCNC.The NPC/NCNC coalition government was accordingly formed.

The Action Group became the Opposition in the Federal Parliament and Chief Obafemi Awolowo became the leader of the Opposition in the House of Representatives.

Hm

Okay Sir

Just want to justify the Igbo- Fulani coalition Of the 60s. We know Azikiwe will never Work with Awolowo his eternal rival.

Many things I know about we yorubas is that we can never be trusted,we are double mouthed,we can't stand for sumting till the end..We are ultimate betrayals especially my ibadan brothers.

We know he's a fraudster who underated the potency of a #20 otapiapia

Yes oooo, that was why he used about 3 million stubborn and senseless Biafran goats like you for pepper soup and suya between 1967 and 1970. And used your women and girls as sex slaves. That Awolowo was Nigeria's number one Baddoo.

... This is a no small revelation.

Chief Amaechi Mbazulike said exactly the same thing. He was in attendance at said meeting. He said as Zik descended the stairs after taking the call, he said; "agwo anyi na ya no nwelu isi na abo".

Lalasticlala, take over the wheel.

Yoruba Yoruba Yoruba Yoruba Yoruba hmmm how many times did I call you buhari better watch your back hope your personal security are not from that region

Lol!
Isn't this what we had been saying on this forum for ages now?

Thank you, OP.

Thats how politics is played all around the world. This took Dennis Osadebay by surprise because his total political history and perspective is narrowed to the NCNC.

Who were the NCNC Central Working Committee they got into the meeting that fast? They must be located in Eastern region, and of Ibo stock.

A party formed in Lagos by Yorubas accepted Ibos to build a national coalition but Ibos usurped it and hijacked it to East but were perturbed in the event of a Yoruba man trying to hijack government.

Ibos u see ya life!

Perfect description of Awolowo.

Another myth from the Lagos-Ibandan expressway has been busted. I'm happy that more Igbos are waking up to the truth.

So, a big myth buster thread like this can't even make the nairaland front page? Nsogbu dikwa.

I am sure you decided what tribe to become. On another note, i feel sorry for you cos you will get drenched and drowned in hatred for a group of people who God created equally as you.

I eternally hope you get your wish and allowed to segregate.
