“Leader of AG..sent (memo) to Sec of State.. (on) what he called 5 challenges..I’m concerned w/ only 1..which reads: “I challenge you to deny WesternRegion ve right of self determination & free to decide whether or not they remain in proposed 🇳🇬Federation
“Leader of AG..sent (memo) to Sec of State.. (on) what he called 5 challenges..I’m concerned w/ only 1..which reads: “I challenge you to deny WesternRegion ve right of self determination & free to decide whether or not they remain in proposed 🇳🇬Federation
The reply..conveyed to leader of AG thro’ Acting Chief Sec of🇳🇬 by direction of Sec of State read as: “The Sec of State has directed you sh’d be informed any attempt to secure alteration of that decision"-“that’s decision concerning status of Lagos-“by force ll be resisted &.."
in this context I'm to observe any attempt to secure secession of West from the Federation w'd be regarded as use of force” It’s true (it) then went on to say: “If..has pointed out, majority parties in🇳🇬 freely agree.. on some alternative solution regarding status of Lagos,..”
HMG ll be willing to consider..on its merits & interests of🇳🇬as a whole Failing that decision made by HMG is final My Lords in passing may I suggest impression that that statement may superficially make of a rather fair & open mind in certain circumstances isn’t really the case..
cos what those words in that context w'd mean & ve meant to people of Western Region is that the Sec of State w’d in no way facilitate a confab btw the Regions, particularly the West & North, which might lead to variation of the decision & in circumstances of 🇳🇬..
it’s also fairly certain no such confab with a view to reaching an agreement could take place save under auspices or with help of Govt authority”
