A non-political group in Ilorin, Ilorin Emirate Elders Forum, (IEEF), has carpeted Chief Edwin Clark for allegedly using foul language against the person of Turaki of Ilorin, Bukola Saraki.
Clark, had during a recent visit by some politicians from Kwara State reportedly said Bukola Saraki was a direct opposite of his late father, Dr. Olusola Saraki, in terms of disposition to issues.
The IEEF during a press briefing yesterday in Ilorin urged Clerk to restrict his activities and comments to his Niger/Delta place of birth, as the region is embattled with a lot of challenges that should ordinarily have kept the likes of the Ijaw leader “more busy” than dabbling into matters concerning other Nigerians.
According to the spokesman of the IEEF, who is also the Mogaji Nda of Ilorin, Alhaji Woru Mohammed, Clark should not dictate what happens in Kwara State. He should face concerns relating to his origin, the Niger /Delta.
He said: ”Clark should stay off Kwara state. We willingly made a political choice to follow our son, Bukola Saraki. Therefore, Clark cannot sit down in Niger/Delta and dictate what should happen in Kwara state.
“We have been associates and followers of Dr. Olusola Saraki for almost 50 years, and we can’t recollect when and where he (Clark) had contributed to the development of Kwara state. But unfortunately, Clark is now trying to paint to the general public that he knows Kwara State more than Kwarans.”
Clark, who of recently has being in an open "letter battle" with an erstwhile President, has shifted his locus to kwara state. Mohammed, flanked by other eminent elders of the town, wondered why Clark could be referring to himself as a friend of the late politician, when the Ijaw leader, unlike many prominent Nigerians, shunned the burial rites for the late Saraki.
