Edwin Clark, former minister of information and staunch supporter of former president Goodluck Jonathan, has urged Nigerians to support President Muhammadu Buhari, who he described as being “fit to rule Nigeria”.
Speaking at his Abuja residence on Wednesday when a group known as Probity Ambassadors Organisation of Nigeria conferred a lifetime achievement award on him, Clark urged Nigerians to live in unity.
“Campaigns are over and a winner has emerged. We must come together and give our support to the president,” he said.
“Buhari is fit for the job and he’s capable of leading us. We will support him.

“The loser of the election, who had all the powers to do and undo, came out to congratulate the president. So, all of us must join hands together to support president Buhari.”
The elderstatesman advised the president not to neglect any section of the country, saying he can only preside over Nigeria when there is peace.
“My advice for Mr. President and the APC is to regard Nigeria as one. We all own Mr. President, no one section owns him,” he said.

“Without the minority or the majority, no group can succeed. We all want a Nigeria where everybody believes that we are one.”
