Galadima: Ojukwu’s Action Caused The Death Of His Own People; But He Was Forgiven, Back To Nigeria

According to a video posted on Arise News on Wednesday July 15, 2026, Buba Galadima said former Biafran leader Emeka Ojukwu was forgiven and reintegrated into Nigerian politics despite the consequences of his actions during the civil war, using the example to argue for national reconciliation today. Galadima raised the point while discussing why some northern figures continue to resist cooperation with southeastern politicians.

Galadima said he had encountered resistance while accompanying a friend, author Dr. D.N. Okechukwu, who sought to interview a prominent northern leader about the 1966 coup. He said the leader initially refused to meet, citing the killing of northern leaders by Igbo officers, prompting Galadima to question how much responsibility could fairly be placed on an entire ethnic group for the actions of a few individuals decades earlier.Get The Full Story Here.
