Gowon’s life to be depicted in stage play

Entertainment

A Stage play, titled: “GOWON”, which depicts the life of retired Gen. Yakubu Gowon, former Nigeria’s military head of state, is to be staged in Lagos, from Aug. 24 to August 25.

A statement yesterday by the Duke of Shomolu Foundation, producers of the play, written by Prof. Ahmed Yerima, who would also direct the stage proceedings, said the play would focus on Gowon’s service to Nigeria and also take a “deep and cursory look at his tribe – Angas, in Plateau”.

The statement added that the play “will run with the theme of unity and lean heavily on the Gowon era policy of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Reorientation put in place at the end of the civil war to heal wounds.

Gowon, who became the nation’s head of state at the age of 32, ruled Nigeria from 1966 to 1975, but his military regime was terminated by a  coup with the late Gen. Murtala Mohammed taking his place.
