Abia State, Amos Oge Kalu, Column, OpinionBiafra, Comr Amos Kalu, Femi Fani-Kayode

I am compelled to respond to Femi Fani-Kayode's recent claims that the 1966 coup was an "Igbo coup."

The motivations behind the coup were multifaceted, driven by a desire to overthrow the corrupt government and address regional imbalances, rather than advancing narrow ethnic interests. Furthermore, it is essential to…
