Clark was perceived by all to be the godfather of former President Goodluck Jonathan, having come from the same South South region. Clark, who stated this in Abuja while playing host to the Middle Belt Youth Council who paid him a condolence visit over the death of his grandson, said such people thought that everything was about election. He said: “I am pleased that you have come back to greet me even after elections. Some people who were here before elections, we have not seen them again after elections. They thought it is all about elections alone.
Elections will come and go, but Nigeria will remain. “We are all Nigerians; this country has over 250 ethnic nationalities. God did not make a mistake when He decided that despite multiplicity of tribe, He placed us here.
No one is regarded as inferior. ”Political parties and government will come and go. Today is your turn, tomorrow it will be another man’s turn. When you are not in power, support the government in power because Nigeria is your country.
It is wrong for opposition to make the country ungovernable for the government in power. We are minority, but we are not inferior, our turn will come again.” When asked how former President Jonathan is doing, Clark said that he (Jonathan) is on vacation. Earlier in his speech, the President of Middle Belt Youth Council, Emmanuel Zompul said they were on a condolence visit to Edwin Clark over d loss of his grandson.
