Edwin Clark, an elder statesman and Ijaw leader, has stated that he will not comment on the Bola Tinubu presidency until the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal concludes.
Remember that Clark backed the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who finished third in the election and is now suing Tinubu for declaring him the winner of the 2023 elections.
In an interview with reporters in Abuja on Sunday, the convener of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) stated that he does not want to make biased statements.

The senior statesman went on to say that he wants the law to run its course.
He said, “I don’t want to commend on that because the election tribunals are still sitting. I don’t want to make statements that are prejudicial. So, let the law take its normal course.”
Clark remarked on the 30th anniversary of the annulment of the June 12 election that the government must establish a peaceful country where citizens have equality before the law.
He said, “We all desire that we live in a country that is peaceful, that is free from crisis, security and economic challenges and low corruption level.
“Corruption in the country is so high, which I always say since 2014, that government should declare a state of emergency on corruption. The rate at which corruption is going on in the country is terrible where every arm of government cannot be trusted.
