Elder statesman, Edwin Clark on Tuesday, condemned the Biafra agitation led by the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.



Edwin Clark
 
Speaking when the chairman, senate committee on local and foreign debt, Senator Shehu Sani, paid him a courtesy visit in his Abuja residence, elder statesman and influential politician, Edwin Clark on Tuesday, condemned the Biafra agitation led by Nnamdi Kanu.
 
The Niger Delta elder who further condemned the quit notice by the Arewa Group to Igbos in the morth, saying it was worrisome, warned that secession or agitation were not the way to go on restructuring the country.
 
He said: “When Kanu talks about Biafra, he is talking nonsense. We do not want a second war. America fought their civil war for a long time and they are not thinking of a second one. Kanu should drop the agitation.

“At the same time, it is arrogant and foolish on the part of some northern youths to issue quit notice. You do not own the north. It is part of Nigeria and anybody can live there. The Igbos have been living in the north for over 100 years. I condemn all of them.”
 
The elder statesman, however, emphasised the need for restructuring for equity and balance in the country, and explained that though the call for restructuring had been loud in recent times, the country had been undergoing restructuring.

“We have been living together since 1914 and from time to time, we have been changing the way of our lives.

 

“In 1947, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe said the Richard Constitution was obnoxious; that it was anti -people. In 1950, we had the Macpherson Constitution which created the three regions and in 1963, we had another constitution.

“During all these constitutions, the issue of fiscal federation was very prominent. So, we have been restructuring this country and nobody talked about breaking up the country. The war between 1967 and 1970 was an unfortunate one.”
 
On call to return to regionalism, Clark said “you cannot abolish the states now and say you want six regions. It is not going to be easy or possible now.

“I feel we should use the same states as federating units and the local governments should remain with the states.”
 
He called for the establishment of revenue mobilisation commission to deal with funds that move between states and local governments to sustain them, and promised to convene a meeting of elder statesmen across the country to find lasting solution to the problem of restructuring.
