Consider Your Age, Stop Threatening Nigeria’s Unity – Northern Elder Tells Edwin Clark

Tanko Yakasai, a Northern elder, has called on the leader of the Niger Delta Forum, Edwin Clark, to stop threatening the unity and peace of Nigeria.

This is in reaction to Edwin Clark claiming Nigeria risks disintegration if the North retains power in 2023.

In a statement he signed, Yakasai said: “My comment is predicated on the interview granted by one of my old friends, Chief Edwin Clark.

“The part of the statement that incurred my displeasure is where Chief Clark issued a veiled threat on the issue of unity and peaceful coexistence affecting different communities living together in our country.

“Chief Clark is not the only elder statesman that issues such threats on unity and peaceful coexistence in our country.

“I think at our age; we should avoid resorting to threats whenever we are discussing national issues.”
