Only The Truth Can Save Nigeria, Chuks Iloegbunam Tells General Gowon A Call For National Redemption
“Faith without action is ineffective.”
Dear General Yakubu Gowon,
On October 19, 2024, you granted a rare interview to Daily Trust, led by Andrew Agbese and Isiaka Wakili, marking your 90th birthday anniversary.…..CONTINUE READING
In this discussion, you presented certain views that seem to lack evidential backing and appear to reshape contemporary Nigerian history. This letter aims to clarify and address those points, as your faith emphasizes that “the truth will set you free” (John 8:32).
In response to the question of your commitment to Nigeria’s unity at the onset of the Civil War, your statements convey an enduring dedication to national cohesion. However, in a broadcast on August 1, 1966, you expressed doubt about Nigeria’s unity, suggesting at the time that separation might be inevitable. Recollections from historians and documents reveal Britain and the U.S. reportedly dissuaded you from following through on this.
The coup of 1966 and subsequent conflicts brought immense suffering, including allegations of mass atrocities and the use of starvation as a war tactic. Your interview also mentioned adherence to Geneva Conventions during the war, yet reports indicate significant civilian casualties resulting from actions such as the air raids on hospitals and civilian sites.
To move forward as a nation, a truthful recounting of history is crucial. The events surrounding the Civil War remain sensitive, and future generations deserve a narrative grounded in honesty and integrity.
