Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

During the Nigerian Civil War, the Nigerian government maintained that the conflict between the federal government and the secessionist state of Biafra was an internal matter. When the issue was raised at meetings of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), Nigeria objected to extensive discussion on the grounds that it would constitute interference in Nigeria’s domestic affairs. The OAU itself was guided by the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of member states.
