Ironsi: Nigeria, The Army, Power, Politics and The Igbo Question

Ironsi: The Army, Power, Politics and the Igbo Question

Guest:
Chief Chuks Iloegbunam, author of Ironsi: The Army, Power, and Politics. He was Chief of Staff to Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State. He was also Media Adviser to Mr Obi.

Ironsi was Nigeria’s first military Head of State. He was killed in Ibadan in the July 1966 counter coup led my northern officers. In this book, as in this interview, Chuks Iloegbunam goes beyond the individual level and the web of intrigues that cost General Aguiyi-Ironis his life.

He blames Nigeria's farcial democratic enterprise, condemns the excesses of the political entrepreneurs responsible for the status quo and posits political restructuring that is based on a brand-new, autonomous, constitution as a design for drilling water out of the current pervasive aridity.

Interview: July 2024
