The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra has warned the former Minister of Defence, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (retd.), to stop insulting the late Biafran warlord, Dim. Chukwuemeka Ojukwu.
The gruop said this while expressing its dissatisfaction with the statement credited to Danjuma that the prolonged Nigerian/Biafran civil war resulted in a grave bloodbath because Ojukwu did not concede defeat when Enugu fell.
Sounding the note of warning, the MASSOB leader, Chief Ralph Uwazurike, said MASSOB would not keep quiet while the name of its founder was dragged into the mud in the name of playing politics.
Speaking in Onitsha, Anambra State, Uwazuruike recalled that the then Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, refused to abide by the Aburi Accord because people like Danjuma and others advised him not to abide by the accord, which prolonged the war that claimed many lives.
Uwazuruike, who spoke through his Personal Assistant and the Nnewi North Regional Administrator, Emmanuel Omenka, said, “He has been insulting Ojukwu. What is the concern of Ojukwu in the conceding of defeat to General Mohammadu Buhari by President Goodluck Jonathan?”
“If Danjuma and his cohorts did not support Gowon, the war would have been averted.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Nwazurike what part dis you play in the civil war then?
ReplyDeleteThgeophilus Danjuma murdered Aguiyi Ironsi and Fajuiyi. At the end of all the coups that he led or participated in, he was rewarded by cowards with oil wells. He will never end up wells, but will rather drown in one of those wells.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that Gen Danjuma can make such silly statements concerning Gen Ojukwu. What did Gen Aguiyi Ironsi, Col Fajuyi and the thousands of Igbos do to be murdered by him? I had great respect for him but the more I read about his role that engulfed Nigeria in the 60s the more I pity him because the souls of those innocent murdered Igbos will surely catch up with him. He will need to repent else God's judgment will soon fall on him.
