Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District in the 10th Nigeria National Assembly, Victor Umeh, has called on former Military Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, to apologise to the Igbo people and provide a detailed account of his role in Nigeria’s civil war and the events leading up to it.
Umeh said this in an interview with ARISE NEWS on Wednesday, where he stated that Gowon has a duty to write his own account of the war, particularly in light of revelations from former military ruler Ibrahim Babangida, who recently reaffirmed that the 1966 coup was not an Igbo coup but a “revolutionary movement” by young officers.
