Foremost Ijaw leader and elder state man, Chief Edwin Clark on Wednesday described President Goodluck Jonathan as a War General because 30 communities have been liberated from the hands of Boko Haram within a few days.
Clark also added that people have been preventing the army from fighting the insurgents before.
Clark made this statement in Abuja when a few socio-political groups paid him a solidarity visit towards the President’s re-election.
Clark said “Today, 30 communities in the hand of the rebels have been taken back. Jonathan is a war general. No one else could have done what he did few days ago. He visited Baga, Monguno and other places to express his support to the military, who are fighting internal war.
“The war is not a conventional war. The opposition thought he won’t get the lost zones back. People had been preventing the army to fight insurgents before.”
“There were saboteurs, now, their game plan is over.”
Clark also praised the establishment of Almajiri Schools by President Goodluck Jonathan. He said “He created 125 Almajiri schools for children who wear tattered dress, beg for food and their people think they are superior more than them.
Today, those Almaljiris have a future but their people are not satisfied because they want them to be begging around. For someone to come from one of the minority area and do what their people could not do for 38 years.”
