Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation
Minister, on Sunday insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari was part of the
Northern officers who plotted the coup and assassination of former Head of
State, Johnson Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi in 1966.
Aguiyi-Ironsi was a senior
Nigerian military officer and the first Nigerian Military Head of State. He
took over power in the ensuing chaos following the 15 January, 1966 military
coup, serving as the Nigerian Head of State from 16 January 1966 until his
assassination on 29 July 1966 by a group of mutinous Northern army soldiers who
revolted against his government in what was popularly called the July Counter
Coup.
However, Fani-Kayode challenged
Buhari to apologize to Nigerians for the role he allegedly played in the coup
and subsequent assassination of Aguiyi-Ironsi .
In a tweet, the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain wrote, “Muhammadu Buhari (@MBuhari) was one of
the officers that organised the northern officers revenge coup of July 29th
1966 in which the Head of Sate, Gen. Aguiyi-Ironsi, Col. Adekunle Fajuyi and
300 Igbo officers were murdered.
“Will Buhari apologise for the
killings and the role he played that night?
“52 years ago today Gen.
Aguiyi-Ironsi the Supreme Commander of the Nigerian Armed Forces, Col. Adekunle
Fajuyi, the military Governor of the old Western Region and 300 Igbo army
officers were murdered in the northern officers revenge coup of July 29th 1966.
May their souls RIP.”
