Former Head of State , Gen . Yakubu Gowon , has said his administration had no regret going into the Biafra war because it was necessary to keep Nigeria one .
The ex - military dictator said this in a special interview he granted the Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation , as part of activities marking the 50 th anniversary of the end of the Nigerian civil war , on Wednesday .
He said , “ The war was fought to keep Nigeria one , not for other reasons as is being speculated in some quarters . It is because of this that we don ’ t have regrets about fighting the war .
“ We fought because of our love for our country . That is why at the end of the war , we declared that there was no victor, no vanquished. ”
The retired general , however , cautioned those he said were trying to turn back the hands of time with their conduct and utterances to desist from doing so in order to prevent a descent into chaos .
