Tanko Yakasai, an elder statesman, has urged the leader of the Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Edwin Clark, against threatening the unity and peace of Nigeria.
Yakasai told Clark to stop dishing out threats when discussing national issues.
He was reacting to Clark’s comments on the state of the nation, ahead of the 2023 elections and the zoning agitations from various quarters.
Edwin Clark had claimed Nigeria risks disintegration if the North retains power in 2023.
But in a statement he signed, Yakasai tasked Clark to consider his age and stop issuing threats when discussing national issues.
He advised Clark to provide leadership to the younger generation rather than threaten Nigeria’s unity.
According to Yakasai: “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.”
