Frontline Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has called on national leader of the All Progress Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to stop parading himself as the leader of the Yoruba nation, saying that no one recognizes him as a leader.
According to him, since Obafemi Awolowo and Adekunle Ajasin died, the Yorubas have had no leaders, adding that former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu was wasting his time, moving about, calling himself the Yoruba leader, saying “money cannot buy leadership.”
Clark stated this when the Federal Capital Territory chapter of South-South community leaders, chiefs and elders visited him at his residence in Abuja.
The former Minister of Information said, those fighting President Goodluck Jonathan because of the 2015 second term ambition are actually fighting God who enthroned him as the leader of the country.
According to him, the Constitution permits Jonathan to run for the Presidency twice, adding that as a lawyer, who had practised for 50 years, he always laugh when educated people say Jonathan cannot run for the office on the basis that he had been sworn-in twice.
He therefore, averred that anyone planning to split the country would not succeed.
He disclosed that former President, Olusegun Obasanjo imposed former President ,Umaru Yar’Adua on Nigeria.
