Just like he observed at the twilight of former President President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure on May 28th, 2023, Elder Statesman Edwin Clark has again lampoon the Daura born general describing his eight year rule as the most bias, unjust, nepotism, uncivil and filled with religious bigotry.
The elderstatesman was reacting the recent public presentation of a book titled “Working with Buhari: Reflections of A Special Adviser, Media and Publicity (2015-2023)” written in five volumes by Femi Adesina and others.
He said, he watched as the speakers chronicled the activities/achievements of Muhammadu Buhari during the eight years of his administration as President and Commander-In-Chief of the country, as contained in about 80 pages of the 488-page book.
“What struck me most is the attitude and statement of former President Buhari who eulogised his achievements as President of the country during the occasion. “This I must say, is contrary to the assessment of majority of Nigerians of his administration. To most of us as Nigerians, Muhammadu Buhari failed abysmally as President.
“His administration was full of insecurity, economic collapse, injustice, religious bigotry and lack of direction.
“The eight years of his administration plunged Nigeria and Nigerians, five decades backwards. Even his successor, the current President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noted as much in his speech at the time occasion where Buhari was eulogising himself.
“For me, this will not be the first time I will be making this observation. In an almost 12-page farewell message I wrote to Muhammadu Buhari, on the eve of his exiting as President of the country, 28th May 2023, I said as much.
