 Former Federal Commissioner for Information and South-South Leader Chief Edwin Clark has taken a swipe at the Minister of Information, Al-Hajjilai Muhammad, for saying that if not for President Muhammad al-Buhari, terrorists would have declared Nigeria an Islamic state. Clark urged him to use his office to build bridges among Nigerians, adding that it is not true that President Buhari expelled Boko Haram from 14 local government areas of Barno State. According to the elder statesman, it was former President Goodluck Jonathan's administration that flushed out Boko Haram insurgents that was just before the 2015 general elections.
