Former Federal Commissioner for Information and South South Leader, Chief Edwin Clark has reiterated his call for the restructuring of Nigeria if the current security, socioeconomic and other challenges facing the country must be nipped in the bud.
He called for a more united Nigeria where there would be more jobs created for the youths.
Clark made this call on Saturday at his Asokoro residence Abuja during a church thanksgiving service held to mark his 97th birthday anniversary.
Clark, who expressed delight and happiness for God making him attain the age of 97, stressed that as the National Assembly reviews the 1999 Constitution, it was imperative to consider restructuring.
According to the elder statesman, “This country must be restructured. President Bola Tinubu should face the political problem of this country for the development of all regions.
“This country has to be restructured so that everybody will be equal; so that every Nigerian can aspire to the position he wants to be.”
Clark, the leader of Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF said, “I feel very happy; very much reassured about my own life. I feel very much fulfilled and I give thanks to Almighty God that I am 97.
“I appreciate those who are taking care of my welfare and my security. I thank Nigerians too
“Nigeria that we have today. We are divided, we are not equal. Jobs are been taken by those who think the country belongs to them. We are not united. There is no one country in this country now.
“When people are united, they believe they belong to one nation, they believe the country belongs to everybody and we are all equal. It is then we can say, let’s fight for independence but not today.”
