Speaking yesterday at his residence in Asokoro,
During a church thanksgiving service in Abuja to celebrate his 97th birthday, Clark, who thanked God for bringing him to the age of 97, emphasized the need to consider restructuring while the National Assembly analyzes the 1999 Constitution.
A reorganization of our nation is necessary, the Elderstatesman declared. For the sake of national growth, President Bola Tinubu ought to confront the country’s political dilemma.
“Nigeria must be reorganized to ensure equality for all citizens and provide every Nigerian the opportunity to achieve his or her highest aspirations.”
“I feel very happy; very much reassured about my own life,” Clark, leader of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), stated. Thank you, Almighty God, for bringing me this much joy at the age of 97.
I am grateful to people who are watching out for my safety and well-being. Nigerians are also appreciated.
Nigeria as it exists now. As a nation, we are fractured and unequal. The country is being occupied by individuals who believe it is theirs. Our unity is lacking. At this time, this nation is not home to a single nation.
When we come together as a nation, we all feel like we belong and that we are equal. When we stand as one, we can do great things. “Let us fight for independence, but not today,” we can say at that point.
