Why Edwin Clark is presently happy with President Buhari

Ijaw leader and former federal Commissioner for Information, Edwin Clark, has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on the appointment of Brig-Gen. Paul Boroh, Rtd as Coordinator for the Amnesty Programme.

According to Clark, the timely appointment has averted a major breakdown of law and order that would have engulfed the Niger Delta region of the country.

The elder statesman wrote a letter to President Buhari, stating that the speed of his action showed that the president was in tune with the developments on ground.

The letter read;

“I write to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your appointment, yesterday, of Brigadier-General Paul T. Boroh (rtd) as coordinator of the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme.

The appointment was very timely, and has immediately lifted a threatening spectre of frustration, despondency and restiveness and with the news, last week, that beneficiaries of the Programme were facing destitution, either by being sent out of their training programmes, especially abroad, or denied their allowances in Nigeria.

“Being a principal participant in the long tortuous and dangerous process that led to the establishment of the Amnesty Programme and as a Father of the Region, I had, immediately upon hearing of gathering protesters, the cries of many Leaders of the area, written to Your Excellency a letter dated, July 23, 2015, to request the prompt appointment into the position, which you graciously announced yesterday.
