He said the indecision of Gowon and the other his colleagues led to the war that remains one of Nigeria’s bloodiest.
Posting on X, Amadi noted that the former ruler failed to act on behalf of the rule of law.
He wrote: “The war came out of Nigeria’s faulty identity-based politics, which led to mass violence against Igbos.
“If Gowon and his colleagues had acted decisively on behalf of the rule of law and openly prosecuted those who killed Igbos, there would have been no demand for secession and no war.
“He was neither a great leader nor a grave villain. He was a rookie stooge of grossly incompetent and hegemonic leadership that walked Nigeria into a stupid & avoidable civil war.
“He’s RESPONSIBLE for GENOCIDE but did not WILL it.”👉 For More READ FULL CONTENT FROM THE SOURCE ↔️
