Someone Thinks What Gowon Said About Ojukwu is Ungentlemanly


gowon
Former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.) had at the Diamond Jubilee Lecture of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria, Lagos, on Thursday, said that Ojukwu had thought that because he(Gowon) is a christian, he wouldn’t want to fight what later became the civil war – Well, a former Minister of Health and a member of the Ime-obi, inner caucus, of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof. ABC Nwosu thinks the statement was very wrong and ungentlemanly…

Gowon had said:
my colleague and brother, Emeka Ojukwu, said, ‘we know Gen. Gowon, he is a Christian and he would not like to fight. Do you know the first thing he puts in his suitcase? His Bible; and that will make him not to engage in a fight’. I think unfortunately, he was proved wrong”
Reacting to the ex military ruler’s statesman, Nwosu:
“I wish to express my growing concern over attempts to demonise Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, who died more than three years ago.
“These posthumous comments on Ojukwu are, at best, ‘ungentlemanly’ and anti-Igbo culture.
“Ndigbo don’t speak of the dead flippantly
Is there a case here or no case at all???
