Insecurity: APC, PDP Cannot Do It Alone, Buhari Should Address Nigerians – Clark

Restructuring, Not Secession, Will Address Nigeria Challenges – Edwin Clark

His remarks come days after 17 governors of the southern region conveyed an emergency security meeting in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) cannot fix the myriad of security challenges facing the country.

This is according to an elder statesman and former Minister of Information, Edwin Clark, who stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Newsnight which aired on Sunday.

He called on President Muhammadu Buhari to address Nigerians on steps taken by his administration in solving the pressing issues at stake.

“Let President (Muhammadu Buhari) call all of us. APC cannot do it alone, PDP will not either. Call the leaders, there are all generals in this place, General Gown, General Babangida and all of them,” he said.

“Abdusalam is there talking every time. Nigeria does not lack people. Let the President come out to see his people. Let him invite his people and discuss with them, what do we do with our country?”

Clark also backed the call for the creation of state police and restructuring of the nation, although he admitted that some states might find it difficult to pay police personnel.
