Restore Peace, Trust To Nigeria, Edwin Clark Tells Buhari

Elder statesman Edwin Clark has urged President Muhammadu Buhari restore peace and trust to the country.

He gave the advice when he addressed a Virtual Press Conference yesterday in Abuja.

Clark said, “I sincerely and honestly wish to appeal to our dear President Mohammadu Buhari to restore peace and trust to the country, because he was voted for, by Nigerians. I wish to add that President Jonathan conceding defeat in 2015 was not a mark of cowardice or inferiority, but because he believes in the unity of this country called Nigeria, where all Nigerians should have equal right to occupy any position, where all Nigerians are equal as citizens.It is rather unfortunate to see the Northern Governors being in confused state, making contradictory propagandist statements without facing the realities.

“All I am appealing to these Northern Governors is to spend more time with their people in their States, encourage the children to go back to school. No one else can do it for them. They should follow the footsteps of the six Military Governors who devoted their time in improving the lot of the children and building infrastructure in their States. They never flaunt themselves on the people. They were very humble and respectful.”

“All Nigerians believe in Nigeria, and they are ready at any time to co-operate with Mr. President to attend any meeting to discuss the affairs of the country, and the way forward. And on personal note, I will be 94 years in May this year. When I die, I want to be buried by all well-meaning Nigerians in a peaceful atmosphere. To my fellow Nigerians, let us sink our differences, salvage our country because we do not have any other country to go to. Let us settle our political and religious differences.”
