Igbo Abandoned Gen Philip Effiong, He Died A Biafran Rebel – APC Chieftain, Ekefre
A chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom state, Elder Enefiok Ekefre has alleged that the Igbo abandoned Late General Philip Effiong who he said died a Biafran rebel.
Ekefre made the comment in an interview with Vanguard, even as he chided the Igbo for abandoning the Late Effiong.
He lamented that Effiong, the vice president of the defunct Republic of Biafra who died in 2003, was not given the amnesty accorded to Late Ojukwu by the federal government.
His words: “The Igbo are expecting support forgetting that they all looked the other way and allowed General Effiong who made the historic declaration that ended the bloody civil war to live and die a Biafra rebel while Ojukwu died a Nigerian Army General.
“General Philip Effiong, an Ibiono Ibom man, was the vice president to Ojukwu. Mr. M. U. Akpan, the Secretary to the Government of Biafra (SGB) was also from Ibiono. General Effiong signed the instrument of surrender but when the Igbo were talking of payment of gratuity and pension, they only presented General Ojukwu and refused to mention General Effiong.
“He lived and died a Biafran military officer but Ojukwu’s rank was restored with salaries and gratuity paid from 1966. Today, the Igbo are complaining of marginalization and oppression, forgetting that justice and injustice should not be selective.”
Ekefre appealed to the federal government to make adequate compensation for the family of the late General Effiong in the spirit of true reconciliation and justice.
He said the agitation by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) was ill-timed, stressing that “the Igbo had President Goodluck Jonathan from South-south, Senate President from South-east, Secretary to the Government of the Federation government, minister of finance and General Azubike Ihejirika as Chief of Army Staff, and they could not ask for their republic then.”
He also lamented that the South-south, South-east and South-west regions are not united.

Causing confusion, Biafra is not for the Igbos alone,. Ask the Akwaibom people why they abandoned their brother not the Igbos.

This is a misleading story that lack facts.If this story is true,why do we still have massob and IPOB today.This shows that what Effiong died for the younger generation want to accomplish it through Nnamdi Kanu leader of IPOB.

We did not abandoned him rather Hausafulani divided us from them bcus they are on power and they accepted the division not until Nnamdi Kanu came and united us once again and we are working round the clock to make things right once and again. United we stand, divided we fall. Biafra is here join us!

Now you know his your brother you abandoned him by showing Nigerian soldiers the way to attack Biafrans, now you’re talking as if you loved him. You all are scum bags. When things are good you talk from the other side of your mouth but when it’s bad you talk from the other side. If we had won the war you’d have been saying Biafra is the greatest thing that happened to you.

I have one question for these agent of confusion.
Was Gen. Effiong, fighting for his own liberation to be free or he was a hired machinery to igbo’s?
Igbo’s don’t own biafra, ok.
Simply say his people the akwaibomit abandoned him not igbo’s.

Point of correction NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT abounded Philip Effiong not Igbos because Igbos were forced back into Nigeria. The Akawiboms should have speak out for their own but they kept quite out of cowardice. Igbo were able to speak out and hold unto OJUKWU and Nigerian government forcefully and were able to recognize DIM CHUKWUEMEKA ODIMEGWU OJUKWU even up until his death. Now my question is this… Has the Akawibom learn from their cowardice and be bold to speak out now that BIAFRA RESTORATION is paramount or stand a chance to have themselves to blame.

Please, I’m bothered! What is this APC? Please, does it mean: Abandon your People and Come ( to serve Hausa Fulani interests.?) Why do people in APC all reject their people to follow Buhari? Is it that their personal interests have superseded that of their people. Hearing this poster is like listening to Rochas Okorocha. Very annoying! The APC leaders in IMO state have an identical fate in their different communities. One of them told me that when this govt leaves and if APC does not provide the next govt that he will go on exile from his community as he has betrayed his community people to remain with this govt. Why does he not quit now? He said he was nobody and will not be anybody after this govt so he’s making the most of a bad situation. See why they’re talking for the Hausa/Fulani.

Continue the blackmail but at last we will know the rightful people, maybe when BIAFRA is freed and your people joined to nigeria territory then when fulani herdsmen and islamic jihadist started their agenda on you people then you will realise the need that you should have sensitised the youth to get ready for BIAFRA referendum and vote in to BIAFRA territory. Use your elderliness to impact knowledge to the youth in other to avoid the looming danger. Thank you.

After the War, Federal Government abandoned Igbos with the help of traitors like Ekefre thinking that Hausa Fulani will give them Heavens. Igbo had no hand nor power in giving Ojukwu a befitting burial. It was Federal Govt decision based on their fears for a resurgent Biafra. That is why we need our nation Biafra so that we will honor and remember our Heroes Past.

Why are you mentioning Igbo. Igbo a lone did not constitute Biafra,there are other tribes, such as ;Efik,Ijaw,Bikware, Igbo,Ibibio and etc. I believed, this a plots is aimed to bring division among Biafrans. After all it is the responsibility of Nigerian government to take care of all the war veterans after they surrended and not Igbo.

General Effiong will be remembered when biafra is achieved. Even if the pple of Akwa ibom feel we neglected him before and after his death,we still have him in heart bcos we have read and know his story of effort and support to the biafra struggle 1967-1970. He will surely be immortalise and roads,complexes,stadium will be named after him to show we appreciate his effort. Time will heal those wounds.
