In a letter addressed to President Buhari, Clark urged him to review his actions in the final days of his tenure.

He reminded Buhari of the disloyalty of the PTF boss when he went to receive Buhari at the airport without the knowledge and authorization of then-President Goodluck Jonathan, which led to Abba’s sacking.

Clark also advised Buhari to obey court rulings, including the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The Leader of the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum criticized Buhari’s legacy and asked what kind of legacy he wants to leave behind after his years as president.

Clark questioned if it was a legacy of compensating people with appointments for aiding and executing wrongful acts, nepotism, or breaching the nation’s constitution.
