Elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, on Sunday, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to consult former army generals and leaders, such as Ibrahim Babangida, Yakubu Gowon, and Abdulsalam Abubakar on how to solve the nation’s pressing challenges.
He added that Buhari must quickly address Nigerians on the increasing spate of insecurity in Nigeria.
The elder statesman made these remarks days after governors from the southern region conveyed an emergency security meeting in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
Clark said that neither the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), nor the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), can fix the myriad of security challenges the country is being faced with.
“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 said that all Nigerian leaders must come together to address the problems facing the country, adding that the citizens have no other country to call their own.
