Chief Chuks Iloegbunam, former  Chief of Staff  to Governor  Peter  Obi, revealed  that  the  January 1966  coup  was  primarily   executed to  prevent  a coup  planned  by  Northern  officers. Iloegbunam’s perspective  adds  depth  to  the  historical  narrative, suggesting that the motivation was to preempt  a power shift that could destabilize the nation. This assertion challenges the commonly held view of the 1966 coup as a purely Igbo-led uprising, proposing instead that it was a defensive measure to maintain stability in Nigeria.
