Bishop Obi Udezue Onubogu, former
Aid-De-Camp to late Biafran warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu during the
civil war, has revealed what Ndigbo must do to produce the next President of
Nigeria in 2023.
Onubogu, who is the head of Rock
Family Church, also noted that the agitation for Biafra had continued in the
South East because of the unwillingness of the world to see how Ndigbo were
massacred before and during civil war.
He told Sun that as an ex-police
officer, he has a first-hand information on how Igbos were killed in the north
and railed down to the South East before the war even started.
“Both restructuring and the
possibility of having Nigerian President of Igbo extraction in 2023 can only be
achieved through dialogue. Ndigbo cannot do it alone.
“The people that think it is
their turn should also come to the table as Ndigbo and present their case.
“We should try to win one another
by explaining the importance of having our own to be in charge of the affairs
of the country.
“In short, I am so deep into it
that every situation that has happened in the country, I see the need to talk
to the people concerned.
“If you don’t like the word
dialogue, let me reduce it to discussing with the people; discussing with
people who might even oppose your views, those that agree with you and those
that may have a different idea about the pressure that we are all facing,” he
said.
He continued, “It was a clr
genocide. It’s not only that; the massacre in the North was genocide. People
were killed and railed down to us here in coaches. Bodies were received here in
Enugu.
“I was a serving police of- ficer
here, so, I can give you first- hand report or information about that. The
world turns their eyes away from certain sensitive events in the lives of
people because of their interests.
“Many nations in Africa suffered
the same thing we suffered but they were highlighted and written about. I
personally think that the world ought to know.
“The way to get things right and
settled is to speak the truth about what happened. That you don’t teach history
in schools means that certain things will be hidden away from the young
generation.
“But, I will assure you that it
can’t last forever. There will be a generation that will come that will unearth
all these things and speak of it boldly. People who survived it are still
alive.
“And even though the world does
not want to talk about it or publish it or draw the attention of people to it,
there are some publications already in circulation.
“I stand with the people of Asaba
who chose to draw the attention of ev- erybody to that incident. They are not
celebrating death but are just pointing out an incident, which we should never
ever allow to happen anywhere else in this land.”
