Aburi Accord Edition 2 ... Part 1
State Affairs 27 Mar 2024
Note:
The Federal side, led by Yakubu Gowon, attended the meeting with an open book, a laissez-faire state of mind. By contrast, Odumegwu Ojukwu, still Governor of the Eastern Region, and de facto leader of the Igbo, had arrived meticulously prepared. Not surprisingly, he largely had his way.

While the federal delegation behaved as if the Aburi conference was a social gathering to reunite former friends who had fallen out in a social tiff, Ojukwu saw the conference for what it really was: a historic constitutional debate that would determine Nigeria’s future social and political structure.
