In a thriller of an interview that spanned over one and half hours on Arise Television, Reuben Abati and Laila Johnson-Salami took on Peter Pan, one of the best ever to write a column or call himself a journalist on mother earth.
What struck me was intervention on the 1966 coup, and the note he obtained about Ifeajuna’s impressions of his role. According to Enahoro, Ifeajuna seems to present himself as the leader. Many believe Chukwuma Nzeogwu merits that accolade, if accolade is the word and if the word merit should ever go into that blood-nosed narrative.
Ifeajuna said he wanted to hand over power to Ironsi, then chief of the army. But Nzeogwu said Awo was their target to take over the mantle. That remains a speculative aspect of our history. In his book, There was A Country, Achebe testifies to Nzeogwu’s indignation at Ifeajuna’s claim. Ifeajuna ran away, tails and all, to Ghana like an athlete in a counterfeit jump. Nzeogwu stayed put. Ifeajuna did not perform his part of the task successfully in Lagos by leaving Ironsi untouched.

Indeed, with the onslaught of the virus, the country is in an emergency situation akin to the civil war of 1967 – 1970... Can there be a leader like Baba Awolowo again in this country? I doubt it.
