OPEN LETTER FROM BIAFRAWRITERS IN RESPONSE TO THE OPEN LETTER WRITTEN BY THE NORTHERN COALITION TO THE ACTING PRESIDENT – PROF YEMI OSIBANJO
Your Excellency
APPRECIATION (Response)
On behalf of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) and other peace-loving people of Biafra, we wish to specially thank you for the genuine efforts you have continued to make to see that the political tension in Nigeria, which was undoubtedly, originally engineered and hatched by the Arewa in Nigeria, but which has been falsely blamed on the Igbo-Biafrans by the mischievous northern coalition elements, is doused. We are aware of your sincere and relentless efforts to ensure that there is calmness in Nigeria, which has become evident in your earnest move to have talks with the leaders of the South-East and the North.
We want to inform you that we sincerely appreciate these efforts you are making to see that there is normalcy and unity within the Nigerian enclave. However Mr President, with due respect sir, you also have to remember that desperate times calls for desperate measures. Although every tribe in Nigeria is aware of the mischief that characterizes the Arewa group and in particular this time around, the mischievous northern coalition, we share a common stand in this very matter which puts a doubt on the efficacy of your current approach in putting a lasting end to the acrimony that has been long created by the Northern Coalition and the Arewa in general.
RESPONDING TO AND DISMANTLING ACCORDINGLY, THE FALSEHOOD GENERATED BY THE NORTHERN COALITION IN THEIR LATEST OPEN LETTER TO THE ACTING PRESIDENT.
PAST EXPERIENCE (Response)
1 – The coalition falsely remarked that the Igbos manifested their hatred when Igbo army officers conducted the first mutiny. But we all know that these are treacherous lies that the north have fed and continued to feed the public. This is a technological era and you can no longer hide the truth from the people. The truth and the fact of the matter remains that the north through its savagery, plunged Nigeria into an abyss of corruption and nepotism that brought about the chaos now experienced in Nigeria. The truth is now in the public domain that the very mutiny falsely referred to by the northern coalition as Igbo coup, was never an Igbo coup but was conducted by army officers from various tribes in Nigeria including the north. Facts on this can be found in literatures elsewhere. The coup was widely accepted by the generality of Nigerians because of its intent to rid Nigeria of the corruption, nepotism, destruction and viciousness in which the North has drenched everyone since the inception of Nigeria. Additionally, the mutiny was clearly to salvage Nigeria and rid her of corrupt and nepotistic leaders, such as the major political and religious leaders of the north, to install Awolowo as prime minister and to prevent the chaos that would have arisen when the north ferociously denied Awolowo his rights as the legitimate prime minister of Nigeria.
2 – They also mentioned that the coup only took out the leaders of the north and the west, which perhaps may be one of the reasons they refer to it as an Igbo coup, when in fact, Eastern Army officers also fell in the mutiny.
3 – Also, in addition to debunking the lies that Igbo officers alone participated in the coup, it also took the combined efforts of Igbo Army officers such as Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi to break the back of the coup or put an end to it. Yet these extremely mischievous northern elements falsely tag it an Igbo coup, claiming that Aguiyi Ironsi appropriated the coup, in order to continue to misinform the public.
4 – It is no longer a hidden fact that the Arewa is made up blood-thirsty vampires who are always willing to kill and spill innocent blood anytime with ease especially that of Igbos because of the cultural hatred the north has for Igbos as exemplified recently by current trends. This is why the north embarked on a killing spree after the January coup and slaughtered several millions of innocent Igbos in the north including children and pregnant women and cutting their wombs open. What a marauding and blood-thirsty group of people!
5 – The Arewa is unrepentantly characterized by lies and propaganda and so is incapable of telling events as they are. The indiscipline, rascality and stupidity that exists in the military today was originally brought about by the Arewa who dominated the military. Ojukwu refused to recognize Gowon because Gowon was not the next senior Army officer to carry on as the Head of State. But because the north ruthlessly murdered Aguiyi Ironsi in the so-called counter coup, they imposed a junior Army officer – Gowon, over other senior Army officers such as Ogundipe and others, including Ojukwu himself who was also senior to Gowon – a singular act which brought about the corruption, irregularities and indiscipline witnessed in the military today. This is because the
