Nyanya Blast: Edwin Clark Urges Every Nigerian To Financially Assist Military

Delivering his speech at the ongoing National Conference currently being held in Abuja, Chief Edwin Clark has urged every Nigerian, including delegates, to contribute more to end the scourge of insecurity in the country.


According to the elder statesman, security challenges Nigeria is facing are a national issue, not only a North or South issue.
He believes that country's military are doing their job, but additionally support from the country people is required, as "soldiers alone cannot fight this war".
Edwin Clark was quoted saying:
"Everyday we sit down here deliberating. What are we debating about? Will Nigeria be eradicated before we know it is here with us?.. This conference must send a message to the authorities that something must be strongly done about it. Instead of me going to eat at 2 pm, monetise it and send it to those who are dying fighting this scourge. The time has come for all of us to do something."
It would be recalled that a dire explosion rocked Nyanya bus station, located on the outskirts of Abuja, Monday morning. As a result of the bombing 71 people died and 124 were injured (confirmed by police). However, the number of casualties is likely to rise.
