FORMER Federal Commissioner for Information and South-South leader, Chief Edwin Clark
has to tong-lashed the immediate past President, Muhammadu Buhari, saying he deceived Nigerians ahead of the 2015 Presidential election with his campaign mantra, CHANGE.
Clark who noted this in his 688-page ‘Brutally Frank’ , his autobiography, said that throughout his administration, he betrayed Nigerians, and did not serve them contrary to his inaugural remark that he belonged to everybody.
The book which has five chapters was unveiled on Thursday in Abuja.

In Chapter 22, titled, Buhari’s Nigeria from Page 523, Clark took a swipe at the former President, saying that nothing changed for the better during in his eight years and perhaps if there was any change at all, it was for the worse.
