\u201cWait a minute, who told you I am going to do it in Hausa? Oh my goodness, look, for almost 80 years, I have been always speaking mostly in English\u2026 This is an ambush. This is a coup. No, No\u2026. My Hausa is not good enough to say it in Hausa,\u201d Gowon objected.<\/p>\n
Gowon was addressing newsmen after he visited President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The former military ruler told Tinubu not to be worried about the criticisms of Nigerians on his performance since he assumed office in May 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt least, if I remember, I was told that I was too slow, fighting the war and that probably Nigeria would not make it and that we should seek for discussion. Well, did we do it or not? They probably did not know the problem on the ground there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\nVideo: Watch as they ambushed General Yakubu Gowon to speak Hausa on national TV as soon as he started talking about the Biafra Genocide and how he crushed the Igbos. He refused and they were insisting. Next thing, NTA cut off the LIVE PROGRAM. This happened on Wednesday,\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/42Uwwdnt8i<\/p>\n
