The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, wholeheartedly commends General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) for his bold and historic assertion that the January 1966 Coup d'état was unequivocally not an Igbo coup. This courageous acknowledgment stands as a crucial milestone in altering the narrative that has unjustly painted the Igbo people as antagonists within the broader scope of Nigeria’s tumultuous political landscape.
