He spoke in Abuja at the unveiling of Chief Edwin Clark’s 688-page autobiography, Brutally Frank, the former Federal Commissioner for Information.

President Tinubu stated that the answer to Nigeria’s issue could not be like instant coffee, comparing the country’s current situation to the pain of childbirth and the joy that will follow.

He expressed hope that the federal government’s palliatives would contribute to lessening the pain and trauma.

Tinubu, who was represented by Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, described Clark as a member of the extremely uncommon class of extraordinary men known as the Iroko of the South-South and the Eagle of Nigeria.
