Ex militants under the aegis of the Niger Delta Liberation Force, NDLF,
have released a statement blasting former Information minister and Ijaw
leader, Edwin Clark over his comments about former president Goodluck
Jonathan yesterday October 7th. Edwin Clark yesterday said Jonathan
lacked the willpower to fight corruption during his administration. In a
statement released today and signed by Mark Anthony, the ex militants
said
“Chief Edwin Clark has no moral justification to condemn former
President Goodluck Jonathan by saying that GEJ lacked political will to
fight corruption. We are surprised at the unguarded comments from a man
who called himself elder statesman.
Clark was part of the rot in GEJ administration, he
should keep quiet and allow other Nigerians to judge GEJ stewardship. We
see Clark’s statement against GEJ as the height of betrayal and
backstabbing to find favour with the current administration. President
Muhammadu Buhari should be warned to be distant himself from persons
like Clark if he wants to end well. We support the ongoing anti-graft
war and urge Buhari to extend the searchlight to people like Clark, who
are fabulously rich. EFCC should track the various bank accounts of
Clark and others, who do not hold formal government offices and known
open businesses, but are stupendously wealthy. We urge Buhari to be
impartial in his anti-graft war to bring all looters to book to create a
new hope for the future generation of Nigeria,” the statement read
