* Ask Gov Sheriff Not To Marginalize Isoko Nation.
The Civil Liberties Organization, Delta State branch, has said that they were disappointed with statements of the deposed Nigeria former maximum military ruler, General Yakubu, who led the genocide against the Igbo nation during the Nigeria Civil War.
Recently, Gowon spoke on the issues of the civil, which his statements on the civil war, were unpalatable. Based on his narrations, the Rights Group, had said that Gowon, at his old age should be ashamed of himself and at the same time make immediate apology to Nigerians and Igbo nation in particular.
Today in Igbo nation majority of those who became orphans and widows from 1967, we’re due to the genocide of Gowon, against a targeted ethnic group.
The Organization said, that Gowon, who claimed to be Christian and but unrepentant , to come at this time that the country is in high flame and comatose to be giving his narrations on the civil war, was very, very unacceptable to humanity.
What Gowon as a leader, committed the war was human rights crime which was supposed to be prosecuted. Coming now to tell Nigerians why the war broke out or executed showed he never had remorse of his atrocities.
The group said that from the statements and body languages of Gowon, since after the war showed that the purpose of the war was to extinct the Igbo race.
In another development, the group has called on the Governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori to be careful with the government’s dealings with the Isoko nation, stating that the Isoko ethnic group is part and parcel of the State.
They stated that the right other ethnic groups that form the State have, same the Isokos have. No ethnic group is superior or important than orders.
They further advised the Governor to look beyond ethnic sentiment and know that he is the Governor of Delta State and not for a particular ethnic group.
