South-South leader and former Senator, Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clarke has lampooned former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo over his stance on restructuring Nigeria. Obasanjo condemned any form of restructuring the nation and Chief Clarke is not having it. He says the former president knows the truth and he should say it.

He thundered;

“If he (Obasanjo) does not believe in restructuring, what were the national conference or political conference and national reform conference, which we all attended for? I was the leader of the Southern delegation even though we walked out, what was if for, was it only for his third term or concern for the restructuring of Nigeria?  That is a question Obasanjo should be asked to answer.”

Obasanjo wants to Impose his will on Nigeria

Chief Clarke said: “The truth is that he (Obasanjo) is a leader who wants  to impose his will and authority on Nigeria.” Many things to restructure Contrary to Obasanjo’s submission that there was nothing to restructure in the country,

There is a need for restructuring, there is need to go back to the kind of government we had before and after independence until  the soldiers struck.” “What we are saying is that we want the former one where there was devolution of power, where every region had its own constitution even the Midwest region was created based on the demand for restructuring. Then, every region was independent in whatever they did.  No one held the other down, which was why western Nigeria government did things that other government did not do and others were not envious of it because everybody had his own government.

“At present, Nigeria is running a unitary government, a situation where every state first goes to the Federal Government for money. That is not federalism.  So Obasanjo is not saying the truth, he knows what to say, but he is not saying it. He is saying there is nothing wrong with the structure of the country, which is not true. “We want restructuring to correct the defects in the current structure of the country.

For instance, Kano has 47 local governments but contributes nothing to the revenue of the country, while Bayelsa, which contributes a lot has only eight local governments.  I think these are anomalies that should be corrected,” he added.

Power should be given to the States

Chief Clark continued: “There should be devolution of powers to the states if the states are going to be the federating units. Obasanjo is wrong to say that there is nothing wrong with the structure of the country, everything is wrong with the structure of the country.” “We believe that the minorities in Nigeria, especially in the north, should have a sense of belonging by creating states for them. Like the Southern Kaduna, the people need a state with headquarters in Kafanchan, which is why we need restructuring.

 “We also believe that in every state, governorship should rotate from one senatorial zone to the other to give every section of the state a sense of oneness and participation so that  in a state like Kogi, where only the Igalas until recently or Benue, where only Tivs have been producing governors can be checked,” the South-South leader said. According to him, “These were part of the things we discussed at the 2014 national conference, that governorship should be zoned, it is part of restructuring and the conference discussed everything from Obasanjo’s 2005 report, Abacha’s conference, Babaginda’s conference, all the reports were brought before us and the conference deliberated on them.”

“The talks that northern Nigeria was not represented at the conference is a lie, it was properly represented.  They had 10 men in the three committees from the north, what type of representation are they talking about? Muslim, Christian leaders were at the conference.”

Obasanjo was part of the Problem in the National assembly

“When Senate presidency was zoned to the Igbo during his tenure, Obasanjo ensured that it was not stable, so he had about five senate presidents or during his tenure. Let him keep quiet.  Is it because we have a country where people do not know their right from left and everybody is being praised as a worthy leader?.”

Osinbajo needs support to stop cabal

I am calling on all Nigerians to support the acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo. “Therefore, I call on all Nigerians to support his administration. A situation where some few individuals who were never elected by the people of Nigeria would sit down in Aso Villa to manipulate President Muhammadu Buhari’s agenda should not be allowed,” he said.

It so pathetic that a region in the country are so OIL Drunken that they feel that other sections are producing nothing or will be useless if there is restructuring.

Obasanjo again ! njo means evil or ugly from my side though so I ain't surprise of his Antics.

Two senile old fool rogues

lol.....mk both of them keep quiet jor

Yes!

I just want this zoo divided

Obasanjo: meaning person wey dey spread ugliness

Hmmmm, Anything that comes out of OBJ's mouth is adulterated with selfishness.

Thats the only thing he knows how to do. - How can somebody in his real senses say Nigeria doesn't need restructuring?


I keep hearing people, especially Yoruba and Hausa who always say that when Igbos were given senate president, what did they do? didn't they mess it up.

I just tell them only one thing - have you forgotten who was in power then?

OBJ is a snake

Clark we all know Obasanjo's situation. Haven't you been in a situation where your oga in your working place just blew a fat lie and asked, Okon is that not true? Okon will definitely concur. But posterity will judge them all. All those that know Nigeria is sick but have hypocritically refused to speak the truth so we can get a doctor to cure the sickness will surfer the same fate just like the one in London. Slow and painful death. It pains me when some youths praise these men as the best. Truth be told, Nigeria has never had anything close to the best president ever since independence. They have all been selfish, wicked and inhumane.

that's good let fight themselves,i chop naija moni with dem?

The lady above me na 5G network U dey use ni?
