Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (retd) has made a shocking confession.

He said; “I believe that a lot of injustice has been done to the Igbo and a constitutional debate on restructuring must address all imbalances and restore hope and confidence.”

“Nigeria is big enough for all of us and I believe that the Igbo, Middle Belt and the Yoruba are the true Nigerians because if you look round our borders, people came from abroad and are still coming but Ndigbo have always been there, Middle Belt people have always been there, even Yoruba have always been there.”

“People who came in yesterday who have a duty of respect are now the ones talking. Going forward, we must create a federal democracy that will respond positively to all the aspirations of our people not about East-West but all about working together in equality, bringing in the youths and the women to build a new Nigeria.”

“Nigeria remains incomplete without Ndigbo. The nation needs to properly harness the intelligence, creativity and hard work of Ndigbo for national growth and development.”

“God did not make mistake by making Ndigbo part and parcel of Nigeria. I therefore, call for justice, equity and fair play in Nigeria.”
