Ex-Niger Delta militants who came under the
umbrella of Niger Delta Liberation Force, NDLF, on
Thursday berated former Federal Commissioner
for Information, Chief Edwin Clark, for deserting
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and accusing
former President Goodluck Jonathan of lacking the
political will to fight corruption.
They reacted to yesterday’s statement of Clark by
categorically telling the elder statesman to shut up
and allow other Nigerians to judge GEJ’s
stewardship.
Spokesman of the group, ‘Captain’ Mark Anthony
maintained, in a statement, that Chief Clark lacks
the moral justification to claim that former
President, Goodluck Jonathan lacked the political
will to fight corruption, stressing that, “We are
surprised at the unguarded comments from a
man who called himself elder statesman.”
While calling on Clark to be quiet in view of the
role he played in the rot that rocked the
immediate past administration, NDLF said: “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 distant himself from
persons like Clark if he wants to end well.”
The statement reads further, “We support the
ongoing anti-graft war and urge Buhari to extend
the searchlight to people like Clark, who are
fabulously rich 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.”
