Tinubu, Gowon, Danjuma, Obi, others storm Clark’s book launch…

President Bola Tinubu led other prominent political and traditional rulers in attending the public presentation of “Brutally Frank,” an autobiography of elder statesman Chief Edwin Clark, at the Abuja International Conference Centre.

The president, who is the special guest of honour, was represented by the Secretary of the Government of the Federation, George Akume.

The occasion chaired by former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, also attracts other personalities, including Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma, who is the chief launcher; Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi; wife of the late former Head of State, Maryam Abacha; and traditional rulers including Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi; Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero; and Attah Igala, Matthew Opaluwa, among others.

Among the governors present at the occasion are Edo, Delta, Bauchi, and Plateau.

In his address, Gowon, under whose administration Chief Clark served as the Federal Commissioner for Information and Foreign Affairs, said even though the foremost South Korean leader was a person of strong character, he put forward his views respectfully.

He said Clark, who is the only surviving member of his government, was helpful in explaining the government and enhancing national unity.

The former Head of State noted that “Brutally Frank” is a good chronicle of the events that happened under his administration.

He hoped that the younger generation could read the book and learn from it.
