Elder statesman and leader of the Southern and Middle-Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF), Pa Edwin Clark, has asserted that President Bola Tinubu inherited the worst government in Nigeria's history.
In an interview with Newmen, Clark shared his views on Tinubu's performance, stating that one year in office is too early for a proper assessment.
He emphasized that Tinubu took over from a government that left significant challenges.
Clark remarked, "I think one year is too early. He met the worst government in Nigeria; that is what he inherited. I told him during the June 12 commemoration that there's nothing to celebrate. What did Buhari's government ever produce? Continuing with his programs and policies will be difficult."
He expressed confidence that Tinubu could address some of the previous administration's numerous mistakes and mismanagement issues.
"For me, I won't assess him. He has a lot he is doing now," Clark added.
The 97-year-old Ijaw leader also urged the release of the Indigenous People of Biafra leader, Nnamdi Kanu, questioning the fairness of his continued detention.
"Kanu should be released unless you are holding him because he belongs to the Igbo tribe. The war has been over for about 50 years now; why detain Kanu? It's unfair. He should be free," he stated.
