As the agitation and call for a restructuring of the country continue, another powerful man of God has called for a revolution in Nigeria such that will do away with the old breed.
The old breed , he said have destroyed the country and warned that Nigeria is heading for the rocks except something is done to stop the impending disaster.
The warning was given by the Bishop of Calabar Dioceses of Anglican Communion, Bishop Tunde Adeleye while addressing a press conference in Calabar, the Cross Rivers state capital.
The only way the unmitigated disaster could be avoided is to urgently restructure the country and do away with the old breed.
Lamenting he took the the older generation of Nigerian leaders to task for failing the country.
He said: “it is the older generation which have ruined the country; they have destroyed the destiny and future of this country through corruption. The old brigade is not the ones to save this country, it is the youths.
“Nigerians youths should forgive the old brigade for being the problem of this nation, but the youths should get themselves prepared and positioned. They must make sure they do not learn or copy anything from the old because there is absolutely nothing to learn from them. Youths must avoid the mistakes of yesterday’s men,” he appealed.

The cleric said; “unless there is restructuring, I fear and dare to say that we will crash. I am not prophesying any doom but at the rate we are going, restructuring is the only viable way out.”
Speaking further, he pointed out that “a situation where people are being oppressed; where those who make the money are being suppressed and not allowed to have a say on the money they make; at this rate, when the centre is heavily loaded with money and the States and the local government are crying for funds, going to Abuja with cap in hands begging, those things will crush us unless we restructure.
“I believe in true federalism as a system of government which allows the people at the State and local government levels to take of certain decisions by themselves and for themselves. A situation in which Abuja dictates education dictates health, dictates the police amongst other things will result in a crash.”

Commenting on the agitations by secessionist groups and militancy in the Niger Delta, the clergy said, “I do not believe in secession. We are better and stronger if we come closely apart. By this I mean Nigeria should come together, loose in the centre and stronger in states. We should be closely apart bearing in mind our cultural differences, religious differences, ethnic differences and other critical and notable differences.”
