Nigeria’s former Aviation
Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has given reason why he cannot felicitate with
former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon as he turned 85 years.
He said Gowon and other
commanders during the civil war slaughtered three million Biafran civilians,
which he described one of the greatest genocides in history.
According to him, he could not
celebrate a man who presided over such carnage, neither could he described him
as a hero.
“When the real history of the
country is written, the role of Gowon and the other Nigerian commanders during
the civil war will be put in proper perspective. The slaughter of 3 million
Biafran civilians in that war is the greatest act of black on black genocide in
human history.
“I cannot celebrate the birth of
a man who presided over such carnage and neither can I describe him as a hero.
Nigeria cannot make much progress or truly prosper until she apologises to the
Igbo and Biafrans for the great evil that we visited upon them during the civil
war,” he wrote on his twitter page.
