Read Words Edwin Clark Has About President Buhari

A former Federal Commissioner of Information, Chief Edwin Clark, has once again canvassed support for President Muhamadu Buhari. He described the President as being capable of leading the country; therefore, he should be supported by all Nigerians.

Clark, a resolute supporter of former President Goodluck Jonathan, spoke in Abuja on Wednesday at his residence when he received a group, known as Probity Ambassadors Organisation of Nigeria.


He said though he was among those who campaigned against the emergence of the President during the election, Clark said since Nigerians voted for him (Buhari), the President must be supported in order to enable him succeed in the task ahead.

The foremost Ijaw leader added that the way former President Jonathan conceded defeat had also made the task of running the country easier for the President.

He said:

“I have congratulated President Buhari and today, he is our President. He’s not the President of a section of the country. Buhari is fit for the job and he’s capable of leading us. We will support him. Campaigns are over and a winner has emerged.

We must come together after the election and give our support to the President. The loser of the election, who had all the powers to do and undo, came out to congratulate the President”. Clark added that he is an elder statesman, he has to support anyone whoever wins the election.

Commending Jonathan’s action, he said:

“That action of the former President is the best thing that has happened in this country. You can only be the President of the country when it is intact.

All of us must join hands together to support President Buhari”. He further said the former President Jonathan took that action of congratulating President Buhari because of his love for the country.
