South-South leader Edwin Clark has questioned former President Muhammadu Buhari’s eight-year government in Nigeria.
The statesman denounced Buhari’s administration as biased, unjust, nepotistic, uncivil, and riddled with religious hatred.
Clark expressed his thoughts in response to Buhari’s self-praise during the public presentation of Femi Adesina’s book, “Working with Buhari: Reflections of A Special Adviser, Media, and Publicity (2015-2023).”
Clark stated that, despite Buhari’s positive opinion of his presidency, the majority of Nigerians regard his time as a failure.
As he puts it, “Buhari’s administration led the country backwards by five decades, the prevalent issues of insecurity, economic collapse, injustice, religious bias, and a lack of direction.”
Clark emphasized the disparity between Buhari’s assertion in his inaugural speech that he “belongs to everybody” and the conduct of his administration during his eight-year tenure in the country.
He noticed that Buhari’s appointments, particularly in the security sector, were mostly centered on one region of the country, contradicting the assumption that he represented the entire country.
Clark continued, “He belongs to some people but not the entire Nigeria,” questioning Buhari’s claim to be a leader for everybody.
