Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, and the six Governors of the South South geo-political zone will today storm Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, as the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), under the leadership of Edwin Kiagbodo Clark will hold what it calls a “mega rally to demand the restructuring of the Nigerian federation.”
The rally, billed to kick off by 9:00 am, will hold at the Grand Pavilion and Boat Club, Ox-bow Lake, Swali, Yenagoa. Themed, “Restructuring The Nigerian Federation,” PANDEF insists that the 2019 general election is a referendum on Restructuring Nigeria and called on the Federal Government to restructure the federation before the 2019 polls.
A press statement signed by TKO Okorotie, Chairman of Media/Publicity of the rally, named the former DG NSO, A.K. Horsfall as Chairman of the occasion, while the Royal Father of the Day is King Edmund Daukoru, the Amayanabo of Nembe.
