Restructure Nigeria, Activist Tells Buhari

A Niger Delta activist and Elder statesman in Rivers State, Rev Sokari Soberekon has urged President Mohammadu Buhari to put in place processes towards the restructuring of the country.

Soberekon, who said this in an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt said that restructuring the country will create opportunity for all sections of the country to harness their resources for their development.

The elder statesman said that, the present system has failed the nation as millions of Nigerians continues to retrogress into abject poverty.

He regretted that, Nigerians can no longer get 24 hours electricity supply, while millions depend on boreholes and sachet water as source of drinking water.

The elder statesman also decried lack of good health facilities across the country as well as the continued rise in criminality, adding that something urgently needs to be done to take the country out of this woeful condition.

He also called on the President to replicate the Almajiri Schools built byformer President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in the south to cater for street children who are now becoming a menace to the society.

Soberekon also commended Governor Nyesom Wike for organizing a befitting burial for Late Captain Elechi Amadi, who was the first administrator of Port Harcourt.

He also stressed the need for the government to put in place measures towards celebrating elder statesman who are alive.
