Clark stated that he would prefer to vote for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to become Nigeria’s next President than support Tinubu.
described the Vice President as an intelligent man who has the quality to rule Nigeria in 2023.
Clark said, “I’m not aware of Jonathan running for the presidency. I’m a father to him and he has not informed me about such intentions.
“The southwest is the most educated and sophisticated people in Nigeria, but Tinubu should go and rest. Other than the Igbos, I would vote for the Vice President; he is an intelligent fellow.
How many times have we heard Tinubu talking about the affairs of this nation or criticizing those in power?”
