Chief
Edwin Clark
|
Ex-militants under the
auspices of Niger Delta Liberation Force, NDLF, Thursday, took a swipe at
former Federal Commissioner for Information, Chief Edwin Clark, who, Wednesday,
deserted the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and accused ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan of lacking the political will to fight corruption, saying the elder
statesman should shut up.
Spokesman
of the group, “Captain” Mark Anthony, in a statement, 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.”
Vanguard
report continues:
“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 distance himself from persons like Clark if he wants to end
well,” the group said.
It
added, “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,” NDLF asserted.
