Federal Government's Violation Of The Aburi Accord Led To The Nigerian Civil War - Femi Adesina




Femi Adesina is currently the special adviser on media and publicity to President Buhari. I wonder if he still stands on Aburi like he claimed here? Can Femi proudly re-echo these words to his boss who fought against Biafra during the Nigerian vs Biafran war and who has promised to bring 'change' to Nigeria? - Blogger's comment

In December 2009, I was at Aburi, while holidaying in Ghana. We Nigerians call it A-b-u-r-i, but the Ghanaians pronounce it as E-b-r-i. For those who have read widely about the civil war that we fought between 1967 and 1970, Aburi is a significant place.

This was what I wrote about Aburi, after returning from that journey:

“Aburi. Beautiful, serene Aburi, set daintily atop a hill. It is home to a botanical garden that is 119 years old. But for us in Nigeria, Aburi goes beyond just nature and its preservation. It is the town where General Yakubu Gowon and Odumegwu Ojukwu met, to try and avert the Nigerian Civil War that lasted between 1967 and 1970. They came out with Aburi Accord, which later broke down. And a shooting war started. You could see the Presidential Lodge on a hill, where the Nigerian leaders had parleyed at the behest of Ghanaian leaders. It all ended in futility.”

As one of the key parties to the Aburi Accord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, returns to mother earth today, it is also apposite to return to Aburi, and look at the letter and the spirit of the accord once again, an agreement that was violated by the Federal side, and which made a bloody internecine war inevitable.

For most part of 1966, the northern part of Nigeria, particularly, had been turned to killing fields. Non-natives, especially Igbos, were killed in thousands. Many fled, many others were displaced. There was complete anarchy in the land. The average Igbo looked up to Lt. Col Odumegwu Ojukwu, military governor of the Eastern Region, to provide leadership and direction. He did not fail. He picked the gauntlet and championed the cause of his people.

By January 1967, the drums of war were loud and clear, reverberating across the length and breadth of Nigeria. But there was a last ditch effort to prevent what was imminent. There was a peace meeting hosted at Aburi, in Ghana, by the then Ghanaian head of state, Gen J. A. Ankrah. At the meeting were Gowon, Ojukwu, all the military governors of the regions, and some top civil servants, both from the Federal side and the Eastern region. The meeting held on January 4 and 5, 1967, and came out with what is popularly known today as the Aburi Accord.

The agenda of the meeting consisted of three crucial issues: (i) Reorganization of the Armed Forces (ii) Constitutional agreement (iii) Issues of displaced persons within Nigeria.

The two-day meeting reached consensus that were acceptable to both sides. Among others, it was resolved that legislative and executive authority of the Federal Military Government was to remain in the Supreme Military Council (SMC), to which any decision affecting the whole country shall be referred for determination provided it is possible for a meeting to be held, and the matter requiring determination must be referred to military governors for their comment and concurrence. What does this mean in simple language? The SMC would run the affairs of the country, but not without consulting the regions as represented by the military governors. This was something akin to federalism, even under a military government.

Other terms of the agreement include that appointments to senior ranks in the police, diplomatic and consular services as well as appointment to superscale posts in the federal civil service and the equivalent posts in the statutory corporations must be approved by the SMC. What does this mean again in simple language? Equity, fairness, true federalism.

Other matters like the holding of an ad hoc constitutional conference, fate of soldiers involved in the January 15, 1966 coup, rehabilitation of displaced persons, etc, were also amicably resolved, and the conferees returned happily to Nigeria. Only for the Federal side to deliver a blow to the solar plexus: the Aburi Accord, Gowon said, was unworkable, and he reneged on all the agreements.

Using the Eastern Nigerian Broadcasting Service, Ojukwu played the tape recording of the proceedings at Aburi repeatedly, to educate the populace on who was playing Judas. Later, he made a broadcast in which he said: “we in the East are anxious to see that our differences are resolved by peaceful means and that Nigeria is preserved as a unit, but it is doubtful, and the world must judge whether Lt. Col Gowon’s attitudes and other exhibitions of his insincerity are something which can lead to a return of normalcy and confidence in the country.

“I must warn all Easterners once again to remain vigilant. The East will never be intimidated, nor will she acquiesce to any form of dictation. It is not our intention to play the aggressor. Nonetheless, it is not our intention to be slaughtered in our beds. We are ready to defend our homeland.”

In a piece I did last December, shortly after Ojukwu passed away, I said he was virtually pushed into war by the infidelity of the Federal side to the Aburi Accord. I still stand by that position. Ojukwu was called ‘warlord’ for many decades, but he was by no means a warmonger. He only did what he needed to do for his people–and for the country.

As his earthly remains are interred today, it is tragic that Nigeria is still submerged in the morass that Ojukwu already identified about 45 years ago. Today, bombs go off like firecrackers in the country. There is agitation for the review of the revenue allocation formula. There are strident calls for the convocation of a sovereign national conference. Even some component parts are threatening to pull out of the federation if anything happened to their ‘son’ who is now in power. Didn’t Ojukwu warn of these landmines ahead? Were all these issues not already settled at Aburi? Foremost journalist and media administrator, Akogun Tola Adeniyi, in a recent media interview, explained the Aburi Accord this way: “Let every region be semi-autonomous and develop at its own level.” Yes, that was the spirit and letter of Aburi, but which sadly became a road not taken. And is that not why we are still suffering today, living in a rickety and decrepit country that can burst at the seams any moment? I tell you, Ojukwu was a prophet, and like most prophets, he had no honour in his own country. Pity. But whether we like it or not, there’s no way we won’t return to Aburi. Willy-nilly. I only hope it will be sooner than later, before Nigeria goes to grief. On Aburi I stand.

Federal Government was perfidious and duplicitous on Aburi. It is still the same way today. That is why as Nigerians, we are most times disillusioned, dismayed, dispirited, dejected and depressed. When will change come to this land? Our hearts are getting weary.

Last December, I wrote that Ojukwu should be buried like a hero. I’m glad at the rites of passage so far, culminating in the interment today. Yes, bury him like a true hero. An icon, an avatar, deserves no less. This generation will surely not see another like Ojukwu. He fought not only for his own people, but for a true federation founded on justice, fair play, equity and rectitude. Unfortunately, he did not see the Nigeria of his dreams. Will we? Adieu the Ikemba, the Eze Igbo Gburugburu. May your soul rest in peace. Ka nkpur’obi gi zue ike n’adukwa.

Ojukwu is the greatest coward general ever known to mankind.

Oladipo Diya - the greatest general in the history of Yoruba people, knelt, wept and begged Abacha for his miserable life:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8VM9hZMYZ0

irunooboo:
[b]By now Nnamdi kanu will be full of regrets. He has wasted 8 productive months of his life in jail and still counting. He is psychologically defeated and lonely. Any one who has spent 24 hours in a police cell will attest to the fact that freedom is life. He is sex starved, dirty, smelly and hopeless. He took on a whole Nigerian state without considering the repercussions. He enjoyed the Don status on radio biafra which made him underestimate the Nigerian intelligence agency by foolishly sneaking into the country after calling the commander in chief of armed forces a terrorist. His wife gave birth to a son he will never see due to the weight of his offense against the Nigerian state. The foolish man committed treason which is punishable by death or life incarceration. His wife must be considering having a side dick now cos body no be firewood. Kanu chose the wrong president to mess with considering buhari's antecedents of jailing mere critics of his previous military rule talkless of a treasonable felony. We warned him and his gang of unpatriotic rebels that no one takes on the federal government of any nation and win but they called our bluff and called us cowards and fulani slaves . The Ipo-Baboons were bragging that his arrest was intentional to lure buhari into a trap so the ICC can arrest the president and declare biafra. Kanu who was living the champagne life with the donations of gullible and sentimental igbos have now been relegated to a mere pauper who feeds on watery beans and sleeping in a mosquito filled cell. His followers are diminishing by the day cos no one is ready to die for a biafra that is uncertain. The momentum of protest at the initial stage of his arrest has reduced drastically. The elites and governor's in the east who could have negotiated his release have been insulted by him on radio biafra meaning OYO is his case . Where are the bombs he bragged to use to destroy the zoo? where are the biafran army he claimed to train? Where is Britain to save his ass at least he is a second hand citizen in their country? Where is chusku obuko Bambialah to release him from buhari's cage? Where are his Ipo-Baboons who were shouting that the zoo must fall? Has the zoo fallen? The moral of the story is for we to think before we act. Do not sacrifice your life for a meaningless reason. Even ojukwu who declared biafra in 1967 was unable to lay down his life for the igbos when it mattered most. He ran to ivory coast dressed like a lesbian wearing lipstick and leggings just to evade gowon's wrath. Many igbo youths championing the biafra movement are living in freedom while their oga wishes to see the sunlight for 1 hour. Biafra is not going to come because Britain will do its best to protect it's colony. It will be a shame on Britain if Nigeria divides and they won't allow their biggest and most populous black project break up so easily. Kanu's life is wasted and he will be fortunate not to face the hangman's noose after so many years of his productive life has been wasted in captivity. This should be a lesson to upcoming rebels who wants to champion the biafran movement. You will be crushed. A word is enough for the wise.

God bless Nigeria, say no to Biafra [/b]

Hahaha so Nnamdi kanu will come out to become the president of IPOB Funny biafrans

Femi Adesina trying to buy sympathy of the igbos. He failed to mention what the igbo soldiers did before the masscre of igbos in 1966 in Northern Nigeria. Let us ask ourselves these question why kill leaders in Northern, Western and Mid western Nigeria and refuse to touch even one strand of hair on Eastern leaders. That alone is why they term it an igbo coup.

N.B: The essence of this information is mainly to expose the lies of the notorious history distortionists and wicked propagandists who insult and malign others continually with lies and falsehood, and shout and make much noise on every available media. This a tribe that is after all well known for being loose cannons. Uncouth, uncivilised and disrespectful set of people who made a career out of abuse and slurs.
The same treacheerous beings who precipitated the January 1966 coup and the 1967-70 civil war with their bloody 'Operation Wetie ' in the SW. They start trouble and heat up the polity only to run cowardly to hide in their evil Soka forest when the jungle matures.
Disciple of hate and propaganda, here are the members of Yoruba tribe that participated in the January 1966 coup:
(See Ben Gbulie: ‘Nigeria’s Five Majors.’).

*Adewale Ademoyega is the most prominent Yoruba participant in the coup, there were other Yoruba officers who were involved at the dangerous execution stage of the coup. One of them is:

*Second Lieutenant Olafimihan, an officer serving under Madiebo in Kaduna. He was sent by the plotters to gauge his commander’s loyalty. (See Madiebo pp.17-18).

*Another is Lieutenant (some books refer to him as a Captain) Fola Oyewole. He, like Ademoyega, went on to fight for Biafra and wrote a book on his coup and wartime experiences. The book’s title is ‘Reluctant Rebel.’

*There is also Captain Ganiyu Adeleke who became an instructor in the Biafran Infantry School. For confirmation, see the list of coup plotters detained by Ironsi’s regime in Ademoyega pp.106-108, and this quote from Nowa Omoigui’s online account: ‘Mid-Western Invasion of 1967’: ‘Captain Ganiyu Adeleke, who had taken part in both the January 15 coup and the Mid-Western invasion before becoming an instructor in the Biafran School of Infantry was released at a later date after his co-plotters had been freed.’ Omoigui’s work is significant because, though he exhibits a high level of professionalism in his research, he has no sympathy for the January 15 coup. If his facts corroborate Ademoyega’s they are worthy of attention.

So you think i dont know all these before. Yes i know some other tribes were involved but i also know that Nzeogwu and Ifeajuwa were superiors to them and igbos dominated the Military in the first republic. Was it not on their target list to take out all regional leaders? So why was that of the East speared. Dont come here and deceive anybody as much as i know ow babaric Hausa- Fulanis can be, it was the actions of that coup and mockery of the butchery of the Northern leaders that caused the negative reaction

How can it be an Igbo coup when it was Igbos like Aguiyi Ironsi and Ojukwu who foiled the coup?

How can it be an Igbo coup when Major Ademoyega,Captain Adeleke and Lt Oyewole were major participants?

I think Ojukwu knew that the Northerners could not be trusted, same as the Yorubas. Ojukwu knew their antics well. Let's not forget that Ojukwu was born in the North and grew up as a young kid in Lagos. Ojukwu was one of the few people I have ever met who could speak Igbo/Hausa/Yoruba fluently. Ojukwu had the foresight to insist that the Aburi meeting be recorded, if not, the federal Government would have tried to sweep that meeting under the carpet just like they did with the war. It was the violation of the Aburi agreement by Gowon that led to the war. Naturally, Yorubas being a people who can never stand up for anything in Nigeria nodded their head to brazen grab of power by the North. But Ojukwu being the true Igbo son he is said no to slavery and stood up to fight. To this day, the average Yoruba still applauds himself on that act of cowardice concerning the Aburi agreement while rebuking Ojukwu for not accepting northern domination just like the Yoruba nation did. I will never understand how a person can congratulate themselves for being a coward but insult the people who had the guts to get up and fight for themselves. Wonders shall never end.

All you have written is trash, answer my question above before we can go further with a constructive argument. Why did they kill the leaders of Western, Northern, Mid-western Nigeria and left those of the East? If you cant answer it then just keep quiet.

That question is very simple to answer. Take Akintola for example. When they coup plotters came to arrest Akintola, he opened fire from his balcony. They returned fire and killed him. When they went to arrest 'Fani power', FFK's father, he willingly gave up. He survived the ordeal. When they went arrest Ahmadu Bello, his guards opened fire at the gates, the coup plotters returned fire. Most of those who were killed were people who resisted. I'm not defending the coup plotters, I'm just saying that most of those who were killed, died in the crossfire. As for the mid west and East, there was hardly any coup activity their because Enugu and Benin City were not as important as Lagos and Kaduna. However this thread is not about the first coup, this thread is about the violation of the Aburi accord by Gowon which led to the War.

You have a point but it was only Akintola that opened fire. The sadaurna did not open fire instead they sprayed his office building, the building is still there in the North for all to see. They killed the Finance minister Okotie-Eboh he was from the midwest and many others from other region. Not one single leader from the East was even arrested not to talk of killing them.

All this maybe true, but this thread is about Aburi. The Aburi meeting was to reconcile the country after two bloody coups. The Nzeogwu coup killed less than 15 people, the counter coup claimed over 300. What ended in an agreement at Aburi, signed and sealed, was broken by Gowon which resulted in war.

Ok i agree with you, this thread is about an agreement broken. Then Gowon is the culprit for breaking his own part of the agreement.

His wife must be considering having a side dick now cos body no be firewood. Kanu chose the wrong president to mess with considering buhari's antecedents of jailing mere critics of his previous military rule talkless of a treasonable felony. We warned him and his gang of unpatriotic rebels that no one takes on the federal government of any nation and win but they called our bluff and called us cowards and fulani slaves . The Ipo-Baboons were bragging that his arrest was intentional to lure buhari into a trap so the ICC can arrest the president and declare biafra. Kanu who was living the champagne life with the donations of gullible and sentimental igbos have now been relegated to a mere pauper who feeds on watery beans and sleeping in a mosquito filled cell. His followers are diminishing by the day cos no one is ready to die for a biafra that is uncertain. The momentum of protest at the initial stage of his arrest has reduced drastically. The elites and governor's in the east who could have negotiated his release have been insulted by him on radio biafra meaning OYO is his case . Where are the bombs he bragged to use to destroy the zoo? where are the biafran army he claimed to train? Where is Britain to save his ass at least he is a second hand citizen in their country? Where is chusku obuko Bambialah to release him from buhari's cage? Where are his Ipo-Baboons who were shouting that the zoo must fall? Has the zoo fallen? The moral of the story is for we to think before we act. Do not sacrifice your life for a meaningless reason. Even ojukwu who declared biafra in 1967 was unable to lay down his life for the igbos when it mattered most. He ran to ivory coast dressed like a lesbian wearing lipstick and leggings just to evade gowon's wrath. Many igbo youths championing the biafra movement are living in freedom while their oga wishes to see the sunlight for 1 hour. Biafra is not going to come because Britain will do its best to protect it's colony. It will be a shame on Britain if Nigeria divides and they won't allow their biggest and most populous black project break up so easily. Kanu's life is wasted and he will be fortunate not to face the hangman's noose after so many years of his productive life has been wasted in captivity. This should be a lesson to upcoming rebels who wants to champion the biafran movement. You will be crushed. A word is enough for the wise.

God bless Nigeria, say no to Biafra [/b]

This ur white wash write up will not move or develop nigeria to anywhere. The igbos will continue to strife and lay good fundation for their unborn child and generations to come. Your myopic cerebral only ends in hate and envious of the igbos. Ojukwu made it clear, for nigeria to develop as a unit, they must de-centralize the government, the yorubars agreed it as well. Only to go back and stab him at the back.......They will never develop untill there is regionalism in nigeria. Americans practise same, so why not in nigeria. Greediness and holding on to power forever will destroy this country. Ojukwu contributed positively in making sure that nigeria practise regionalism, but the blood suckers like G****, B***** etc enjoy killing innocent people. We will not live on earth forever, but remember what you sow u will ripe. For Nnamdi case,he is a brave man that speak against injustice and tyranny happening in the country. He will make a good leader, remember nelson mandela was imprisoned for 27years and came to be president. The present Governement cannot hold his destiny. He shall finally overcome.

bakynes:
Femi Adesina trying to buy sympathy of the igbos. He failed to mention what the igbo soldiers did before the masscre of igbos in 1966 in Northern Nigeria. Let us ask ourselves these question why kill leaders in Northern, Western and Mid western Nigeria and refuse to touch even one strand of hair on Eastern leaders. That alone is why they term it an igbo coup.

Lol. You're very sick. Because this country is filled with people like you who can't reason, is why we're where we're today.

So the fact that the 1966 coup was purportedly carried out by Igbo officers, and that an Igbo leader suggested Aburi Accord was enough and justifiable reason for Gowon to renege on an agreement the Federal Government signed which would have cured Nigeria of the mess it is in today?

You're a very big bigot and this is what holds Nigeria. You don't even find any reason in the almighty agreement just because Ojukwu an Igbo man was a big player in it. You can sacrifice your generations on the alter of tribalism honestly.

Hmmm....

A lesson in history for those who keep thinking that Ojukwu started the war
