Enough of unending troubles – Clark tells Rivers State people

Former Federal Commissioner for Information and prominent South-South leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has commended President Bola Tinubu and Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State for the peaceful conduct of the local government elections held on Saturday.

In a statement he personally signed on Monday in Abuja, Clark emphasized the importance of unity among the people of Rivers State, urging them to work together to ensure lasting peace and development in the region, stating that it is time to end the cycle of troubles and distractions.

As the leader of the Pan Niger Delta Forum , Clark noted the significance of conducting a statewide local government election without police involvement, a first in Nigeria’s electoral history, where security agencies are typically present with considerable funding allocated for their deployment. Clark contrasted the peaceful elections in Rivers State with the recent governorship election in Edo State, which saw the deployment of over 40,000 police officers, resulting in complaints and contestations. He urged the Federal Government and the Independent National Electoral Commission to examine this development to find ways to reduce the high costs associated with elections in Nigeria.
