Buhari is Nigeria’s worst leader – Edwin Clark

Former Federal Commissioner for Information and South South Leader, Chief Edwin Clark has described President Muhammadu Buhari has Nigeria's worst leader.

According to Clark, Buhari marginalised, humiliated the people of the Niger Delta, as the region are really disappointed at the outgoing President.

Speaking to the media on Sunday, May 28, at his Asokoro Residence during a farewell press conference to Buhari, Clark said that the outgoing President failed to fulfil his promise made to Nigerians during his inauguration in 2015.

He noted that Buhari also violated his vow where he had pledged to be fair to all parts of the country.

Buhari had said, “Having just a few minutes ago swore on a holy book, I intend to keep my hope and same as President to all Nigerians. I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody.”

Clark in his submission said;

“In the past 8years, President Muhammadu Buhari has demonstrated in most cases that he did not belong to the whole country but to a group; his tribe and religion, which is contrary to what he said in his inaugural speech that he belong to everybody.

“For instance, he appointed fourteen out of seventeen security Chiefs from one section of the country. So, the declaration that “he belongs to everybody and nobody”, was a sham. I make bold to say that the reverse has been the case, “he belongs to some people”, but not the entire Nigeria.

“Even in simple matters like extending the good wishes of the government to notable personalities in the country on their birthdays or other landmark attainments, the Muhammadu Buhari administration was selective and biased in who it chooses to recognise or consider worthy of goodwill messages.”
