Edwin Clark, an elder statesman and former Federal Commissioner for Information, has urged leaders in the country to devote more efforts to the promotion of peace, claiming that a lack of trust is tearing the country apart by the day.

Clark made the remarks on Thursday at an event commemorating his 96th birthday at his private residence in Abuja’s Asokoro District.

The Bayelsa State Governor, Duoye Diri, former Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Power, Godknows Igali, ex-Edo State Governor, Oserheimen Osunbor, and All Progressives Congress chieftain, Cairo Ojougboh, all attended the event, which saw Clark in his element, renewing his commitment to speak truth to power at all times.
