Biafra war hero and Second Republic politician, Chief Guy Ikokwu has cautioned against another war after recounting his personal experience.
He disclosed this in a chat with The Sun newspapers. Chief Ikokwu while speaking said that while fighting on the Biafran side during the civil war spent three years in the bush sleeping on sand and stone using palm fronds as my window blind''
According to him, '' This happened about two weeks ago and Ohanaeze Ndigbo has taken a position on that. These are our children and I think they are listening. Nnamdi Kanu recently stated that he did not say that election should not hold in Anambra. So, I think that Ohanaeze and the elders are playing a good role. We don’t want our children to be destroyed as if they were nothing. We also want to inculcate some discipline into our children because we have been there before. As a very young lawyer, I fought in the Biafran war and spent three years in the bush sleeping on sand and stone using palm fronds as my window blind. It was a horrific experience. We don’t want to bequeath that to our children. So, I think they are listening.''
''But they are saying, ‘our elders, do not be betrayed again. Do not think that the people you are dealing with are very sincere. If you keep quiet and don’t develop your own tactics and just go and embrace them and they disappoint you, we shall be worse for it’. It’s a good caution. But we are telling them that an integrated Nigeria under the correct system of governance, where there is local autonomy, will enable the developmental agenda to grow on all sides. And there will not be much betrayal and mis-governance. I can tell you that Igbos generally subscribe more to one united Nigeria, but under a good system of governance, because Igbos are emigrant people. ''
