According to Clark, the ruling All Progressives Congress and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party cannot fix the insecurity issues in the country.
He said, “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.
“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?” he questioned.
The former minister confirmed his support for the restructuring of the nation and the creation of state police.

These remarks from the elder statesman come a few days after southern governors agreed on restructuring, open grazing ban, and calling the president to address Nigerians.
