General Danjuma Sir,the event you are rreferring to happened some 46 long years ago and is already becoming misty with time.
One would have thought that a more recent event would suffice.Just FOUR years ago,a presidential candidate of the Northern extraction,lost the election and refused to concede defeat . . . What followed was ugly.Hundreds of Southerners,including NYSC members on posting in North,lost their lives.Surely Sir,that was not Ojukwu.And Sir,it is not on record that you condemned that needless blood-shed.
Sir,in one of the on-line publications,you were quoted as saying that Ansari Dokubo should be arrested for his utterances following President Jonathan's loss at the polls.Yes,a "miscreant"he may be and,to be sure,I don't like his antics.Yes,his words may be inflammatory.But Sir,how about the same presidential candidate who,in 2011,"promised to make Nigeria ungovernable",should he lose the election?Sir,you neither condemned the reckless utterance nor ordered his arrest.And,truly,Nigeria is still "ungovernable" till date.Who is actually behind the terrorist group,Boko Haram,maybe Ojukwu?To be sure Sir,l am not accusing anybody.But when a witch cries at night and a child dies the following morning,there's a rather "curious"coincidence somewhere.
Sir,you are said to be nononse,but it looks like you don't apply that positive quality across the board.
Sir,a chronology of your actions and inactions in Nigeria in the last 49 years portrays as an unrepentant sectionalist,not a nationalist.
Emeka Ojukwu,as a human being,may have made some mistakes.But he was there for us when we needed him.Even in death,he remains our hero.
I rest my case for now.

Comments on: Ojukwu would have saved the Nation from Blood bath if he acted like Jonathan-Danjuma
