		Ojukwu was not, and he is not, and he will not be, concerned with what the fallouts and its devastating consequences of his misadventures on Nigbo in particular, and Nigeria in general.
		Ojukwu had always felt that he was senior in rank to Gowon and as such he was driven by his selective thinking principle to decline to recognize Gowon as the Nigerian Head of State.
		Ojukwu was rightfully accused of diverting relief supplies to Biafran military personnel at the war front at the expense of starving and dying civilian men, women and children.

		Ojukwu was admonishing Ndigbo to fight to the last man. Do I hear fight to the last man. On hind-sight, is it not weird and very laughable indeed and a demonstrable testimony that the People's General,EZE WURU-WURU NDIGBO could lie with borrowed teeth as a matter of principle.
		Ojukwu flatly dismissed the committees and its members as not qualified, not competent, not knowledgeable enough to mediate and reconcile the crisis which was tethering on disintegration of the country.
		Ojukwu was principally interested in the collapse of the Aburi accord, even though, the Federal Government of Nigeria had already accepted over 95% of the terms of agreement and was working on the remaining five percent.

	Nigeriaworld -- Ojukwu and the Igbo Case for Justice
		As if intent on proving his critics wrong, Ojukwu appeared to have the long-sought regional voice to advocate for either a brand new sovereignty in Igbo land or at least achieve what the leaders of the west and the north had enjoyed when the Igbo were propelling the Nigerian project, namely, a limited regional autonomy.
		Ojukwu demonstrated his skill in this regard in his unassailable refutation of the Igbo disunity allegation often repeated like a mantra by the press and politicians from the other parts of Nigeria.
		Ojukwu should in fact seek to be one of the few voices of reason in the Nigerian sea of ethnic and partisan bigotry.

		It is apparent that Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu was driven by a sense of destiny.
		Ojukwu was tried as a juvenile in the courts in Lagos for his participation, and two pictures essay that moment: when he lay sleeping at the docks, and when his father, Sir Louis, carries him still sleepy, on his shoulder at the end of proceedings.
		Ojukwu’s radicalised consciousness was possibly sharpened when his father sent him off to school in England, to Epsom College, soon after the King’s incident.

		The extent of the disagreement became notable when the first president of Nigeria, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe died in the early 90's, and Ekwueme was one of the prominent men who accompanied the remains of the late statesman across the country.
		Ojukwu was quoted as describing the politician as an undertaker.
		Political enthusiasts have also reasoned that Kalu's frantic effort to get Ojukwu and Ekwueme reconciled was predicated on his bid to secure the blessing of the two great men who are undisputable authorities in the South-east for his presidential ambition.

	Nigeriaworld Feature Article - The misunderstood Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu
		Dim Ojukwu is neither used to soliloquy nor is he used to speak from the side-mouths.
		For example, in confronting president Obasanjo and Dim Ojukwu's electioneering tactics, the professor had this to say: "He (Obasanjo) canvassed for support without emphasizing his ethnic group or region like Ojukwu who is campaigning among Ndigbo for the Igbo worldwide to vote only for him".
		The simple truth is that Dim Ojukwu loves this country Nigeria, wishes it well, and so much so that he continues to offer himself for service; that he also happens to love his fellow Ndigbo - a love reciprocated - and participate in their politics is a plus rather than a minus.

		Last week's adoption of, Dim Chukwu-emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu as APGA's presidential candidate by the party's Chairman, Chief Chekwas Okorie and the opposition from other members of the party's executive which eventually culminated in Okorie's suspension, may have signalled the beginning of the party'smany crisis.
		Besides, Ojukwu, he said is fearless, courageous, selfless and committed to the unity and progress of the country.
		For him, Ojukwu may have the qualities needed as a presidential candidate of any party, particularly APGA, but argued that members were not privy to the adoption plan before it was brought to the open and therefore was not binding on the party.

	It 'll be War to Arrest Ojukwu, Says APGA
		Ojukwu shunned an invitation by the SSS to discuss the activities of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and dared the agency to arrest if he had committed an offence.
		If Ojukwu is arrested on the opinion he expressed, while some of us elders might take recourse to constitutional means of seeking redress, I can't guarantee that the youth will see it like that.
		On Ojukwu's refusal to honour the SSS's invitation, NANS said the accusations bordering on threat to national security were "too sensitive on the moral standard of Ojukwu to be ignored." While supporting Ojukwu's position in blaming the SSS for inviting him orally, NANS however "implored the Director General of the SSS to write him officially.
