Let's listen to what Ojukwu said about Aburi-Accord. A
learned man, highly polished.
"The Tapes are available, the records are there
(Aburi records), about two weeks ago I saw the records. The transcripts are
available. We talked about the Nigerian situation and certainly at the end,
everybody said Oh you tell them this you tell them that. The fact was that, our
case (BIAFRA) was so clear that I actually believed at the end of Aburi that
the problem was not Gowon. There were some Ambassadors in Lagos who were
pressing for something else.
We understood each other. We agreed on everything. The
drafting of the Aburi-Accord was done by my Chief Secretary, another two
Secretaries from Nigeria side. They drafted it, we looked at it and we agreed.
General Ankrah (Ghana President) read all the document,
asked us at the end if we wanted to amend anything? We said No. At the end of
all that, the position was so good.
Ankrah drove Jack (Gowon) and myself to the airport. Jack
was sitting on his Left side and I was sitting on his right, he was at the
middle. In the course of that journey, General Ankrah shook his head and said
"Thank you, thank you, if only we can go on like this everything will be
alright." Suddenly, I took up Gowon's hand and placed it on
Ankrah's lap brought out my hand and put it on top.
I said General Sir, I want to say something. I asked him
to put his hand on top of the two hands. And I said, General I want to assure you that I am
totally satisfied with everything we said. I will even go further to say
something I did not say at the conference and that is, THAT ONCE WE HAVE
IMPLEMENTED EVERYTHING WE HAVE SAID, I WILL ASK YOU FOR ONE FAVOR AND THAT
FAVOR IS, TO BE THE ONE TO PROPOSE JACK GOWON AS THE HEAD OF STATE OF
NIGERIA" ~ Gen Dim Ojukwu.
Have you heard it before that Ojukwu and Gowon had no
problem. They drank champagne together but upon their return to Nigeria, white
Ambassadors in Lagos said No and that is Britain. Why?
They didn't want Biafra to have an independent economic
system. They said, we don't want it so that the Eastern region don't grow their
economy. They wanted to destroy the Economy of the East under Doc Mike Okpara
who had the fastest growing Economy in the whole world. Dr Mike Okpara of the
Eastern Government, the East were manufacturing everything. Britain could not
stand it. Britain knew that Restructuring will allow people to grow.
The ingenuity of BIAFRA will come, the intelligence of an
Igbo man will rise up. So, the best they could do is to bring darkness,
Janjaweedism.
Has ICC called up our case? The answer is No, even with
the killing of our people. They know that BIAFRA is the light of Africa and any
day it stands, Africa will stand. So, what they have done is to go to the
source and switch off the light. They took away the fuse and what is the fuse
that Britain took away? It's called FREEDOM.
You don't Know what I have seen, you don't know how far
we have gone or why we do things the way we do. You are confused and if you
are, you should ask questions. You don't know the number of enemies you have. No, you
don't have no clue. Now you understand who stopped the Restructuring in 1966
after Ojukwu and Gowon agreed to Restructure in Aburi.
