Concept:The immediate trigger of the Biafra declaration was a political action by Gowon, not the coup or corruption.
Explanation:Ojukwu was the Governor of Eastern Nigeria.
In May 1967, Gowon created twelve states from the existing four regions without consulting regional leaders.
This reorganisation split the Eastern Region into smaller units, reducing its unity and control over resources.
Ojukwu saw the creation of states as an attempt to weaken the East and dismantle any secessionist agenda.
He therefore regarded it as the last straw and declared Eastern Nigeria an independent State of Biafra.
The Gowon-led coup and corruption were background issues, but they were not the final spark.
Answer:C. Of the creation of twelve States by Gowon to dismantle any secessionist agenda.
