| How Sarduana infiltrated the Eastern Region with Umaru Altine - The first Mayor of Enugu (Part 1) |
The Hausa-Fulani has for a long time longed to infiltrate Biafra. A classical case of infiltration was that perpetrated by Ahmadu Bello the Sarduana in 1952. As a result of the Richard's and MacPherson's constitution of 1946 and 1951 respectively, Nigeria was essentially divided into 3 regions. Two out of the three political parties were ethno-nationalistically oriented - the Northern Region had the Northern Peoples Congress (NPC) and the Western Region had the Action Group (AG). The only party that came close to having countrywide flavour was the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), which was a merger between the Herbert Marcualy-led Nigerian National Democratic Party and the Nigerian Youth Movement. The NCNC as a result of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe's involvement with the party, it had a stronghold in the Eastern and Western Region.
