Obasanjo Described Late Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu As Naïve

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday described the late Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu who led the Biafra secessionist struggle as naïve.

Obasanjo said Ojukwu and his colleagues who sought to break away from Nigeria in 1967 did not understand the full impact of war on the populace adding that the Igbos were unguarded and did not understand what they were embarking upon at the early stage.

The former president, made this assertion at the maiden edition of the “Memory and Nation Building, Biafra: 50 Years After” held at the Shehu Musa Yar Adua Centre, Abuja.
