Clark cautions against calls for Nigeria’s break up

Elder statesman, Edwin Clark, has cautioned against calls for cessation in some parts of the country.

Clark told newsmen in Abuja that calls for cessation in some quarters were not the solution to the country’s problems. He said he did not believe in Nigeria’s break up in spite of rising insecurity and economic challenges in the country.

According to him, rather than fan the embers of war by making cessation calls, workable strategies should be evolved to solve the problem of insecurity and other challenges making life unbearable for Nigerians.

The elder statesman called for restructuring rather than call for a breakup. He referred to reports of the 2014 National Conference and the committee headed by Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufa’i, saying the recommendations would go a long way.

Clark further stressed that unless Nigeria returned to a federal system of government, as obtained in 1963, the restructuring process would not be complete.
