We Need A Proper Restructuring Of This Country – Edwin Clarke.

A former Federal Commissioner for Information, Mr Edwin Clarke,
has insisted that the restructuring of Nigeria remains the way out
of the challenges confronting the nation.

He said this when he received the presidential candidate of the
Action Democratic Party (ADP) and members of the party who visited
him on Sunday at his residence in Abuja.

The elder statesman said, “We need a proper restructuring of
this country; where everybody will be equal, where appointments
will not come from one particular place and others are just
waiting.”

Ahead of the general elections in 2019, Mr Clarke believes the
problems in the country might continue irrespective of who wins the
election next year.

He, therefore, stress the need for a constitutional amendment
that would guarantee equity and justice for citizens, irrespective
of their ethnic or religious background.

“Once you have a Nigeria where some people are superior, and
others are inferior, then you don’t have a country,” the elder
statesman noted.

“We believe in one thing, and that is the Constitution Nigeria
has today; if that constitution is not changed, all will not be
well.”

Mr Clarke also called on politicians and relevant stakeholders
in the forthcoming polls to ensure the process was free and
fair.
