Saidu dismissed the group’s credibility, stating that Chief Clark is a highly respected and patriotic figure in Nigeria. He highlighted Clark’s significant contributions to the establishment of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) alongside Chief Harold Dappa-Biriye.
Expressing his disbelief, Saidu criticized the anonymous nature of the group, suggesting that their motives are politically driven and aimed at maligning Clark’s reputation. He emphasized that Clark’s longstanding commitment to national unity and his role in advocating for the NDDC are well-known.
Saidu clarified, “This group is nothing more than a faceless entity, likely sponsored by politicians with ulterior motives. Chief Clark is a dedicated nationalist who has consistently fought for the good of the country.”
He added, “As someone who has closely worked with Chief Clark, I can attest to his integrity and commitment. He has always stood on the side of truth and contributed to national unity.”
Saidu further criticized the group for their anonymity and lack of legitimacy, stating, “The so-called Arewa Youths for Peaceful Coexistence do not represent any genuine organization. Their attack on Chief Clark is baseless and unacceptable.”
He concluded by reaffirming Clark’s esteemed position and condemning the group’s attempt to tarnish his name.
