Note:
The Western Region election crisis of 1965 was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Politicians in the Awolowo and Akintola blocs in the western region employed different tactics to outdo themselves resulting in killings and wanton destruction.
The Action Group felt at the time that Akintola in connivance with the federal government (North) rigged the election. Its supporters took to the street, leading to clashes that cost lives. The event is popularly remembered as “operation wetie”.
This crisis raged till 15 January 1966, when the military struck in a bloody coup.
