Ifeanyi Okowa, governor of Delta State, has said that Nigeria needs to tap from the experience of former President Olusegun Obasanjo on nation-building.
Okowa said this on Tuesday when he visited Obasanjo in Abeokuta, the Ogun capital.
According to a statement by Kehinde Akinyemi, spokesman to Obasanjo, the Delta governor said stakeholders, including traditional rulers, also need to be consulted on finding solutions to challenges affecting security and the economy.
He said that the matter of national security is something that is threatening the fabric of the unity and not something to play with as the situation is getting worrisome and it’s time all have hands on deck to be able to find a solution.
He also said that the APC-run government cannot alone be able to deal with it, and they need to find wide and far-reaching consultation, not with those in government alone, but with all stakeholders, particularly those who have been part of running this country before and now, including even religious leaders.
He said there is a need to sit together and discuss the way forward.
