- Chief Edwin Clark lashed at
Obasanjo for saying Jonathan
lacked trust and honour
- He accused Obasanjo of
initiating corruption in the
country
- The Ijaw chieftain said the
former president lacked the
honour to criticise anyone
Chief Edwin Clark has lashed out
at former president, Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo for
comments he made about
Goodluck Jonathan in Segun
Adeniyi’s new book, Against the
Run of Play.
In the book, Obasanjo was
quoted as saying he did not
support Jonathan’s re-election
bid in 2015 not only because it
was against he had earlier
made but because he was
incapable of holding on to the
presidency for seeing the world
through the prism of the Ijaw
nation.

This Day reports that the Ijaw
chieftain in his reaction said
everyone had the right to
support whoever they want and
that Obasanjo had no right to
criticise it.
He said: “In your narration in
Adeniyi’s new book, there’s
nothing you said which you had
not said in your despicable and
false and self-aggrandised book
containing assertions and
character which you do not
possess yet you are
assassinating the character and
libeling of patriotic and decent
leaders and people of Nigeria
including the innocent late
President Yar’Adua and
Jonathan.
“What character has a man who
was a head of state and
president of a country with over
180 million people and who is
now 80 years old being accused
by his own eldest son, Mr.
Gbenga Obasanjo, of sleeping
with his wife and thereby
doubting the paternity of his
children and leading to the
divorce of the marriage of
which you did not show any
remorse.
“Your eldest daughter Senator
Iyabo Obasanjo whom you
alleged in your book: ‘Under My
Watch’ that she was been used
by the government to
assassinate your character.
Again I ask what character has
this man. However, you
concluded that Iyabo fell into
the trap of the government
because she has the same
character as her mother.
“Jonathan was my candidate
and I have a right to campaign
for him and there was nothing
that we said to infuriate or
insult Nigerians as you are
falsely and maliciously
impressing on Nigerians. You
said in Adeniyi’s book that the
late DSP Alamieyeseigha, former
governor of Bayelsa State,
whom you hated and
destroyed, had no reason to say
‘that there’s no vacancy in Aso
Rock’ on 21st May 2013 when
he was campaigning for
Jonathan.
“Whereas another PDP leader
from Niger State Governor
Babangida Aliyu also stated on
September 18, 2014 that there
was no vacancy in Aso Rock
when he was addressing
youths of Niger State who
wanted him to contest the
Presidency. Whereas also in
2003, Chief Anthony Anenih also
declared there was no vacancy
in Aso Rock because you must
be returned as President of
Nigeria.
“The same Anenih told Atiku
during his campaign for
Jonathan in 2014 that there
was no vacancy in Aso Rock in
2015. As Nigerians, we are free
to campaign for any candidate
we believe in whether he or she
is from our ethnic nationality,
from our zone, from our state
or the same religion as us and
or political party. This is the
situation all over the world.”
Clark also lashed out at
Obasanjo for saying Jonahan
lacked trust and honour
insisting he was the architect of
corruption in the country.
“Nigerians who are
worshipping you should re-
examine themselves. What do
they owe to you? You, who sold
all national assets of Nigeria
including the Nigerian shipping
line, Nigerian Airways, Nitel,
Nigeria houses and institutions,
you sold everything except Aso
Rock.
“You sold Delta Steel Company
(DSC) through your son to the
Indians who could not pay for it
and manage it. Same thing you
did with Ajaokuta Steel. So who
are you to talk about corruption
in Nigeria? You appointed your
daughter as the director of a
non-existing LNG in Olokola. You
should re-examine yourself if
you are well. No sane man will
parade himself as an honest
man when he knows that he is
a corrupt man.

“You sold Nicon Nuga Hilton
which became Transcorp Hilton
to yourself and others against
the advice given to you by your
kitchen cabinet. You are a fellow
who must not speak when
decent Nigerians are speaking.
You caused all the problems of
Nigeria. You are the initiator of
corruption in Nigeria. You
masterminded it, legalised it
and what corruption is today
you caused it. And you pretend
as if you are not corrupt. You
corrupted the National
Assembly then you turned
round to call them armed
robbers and thieves.
“What do you really want from
Jonathan and the Ijaw people?
Most of the various issues you
raised in Olusegun Adeniyi’s
book, ‘Against the Run of Play’
are mere re-visitation of the
many things you did and failed
to do in your eight years of mis-governance

These politicians know just how irredeemably gullible some Nigerians are and have found a very convenient way to transfer their personal battles to them (Nigerians). The format is just simply allege an attack on your entire tribe, region, or religion whenever you are attacked personally and see hordes of "stupids" fall over themselves in a mad rush to defend you, while you and your immediate family go on to live your life without a care.

Oooh, how i wish... Just how I wish..

The hypocrite above

Apt response from the octogenerian calling the Ebora owu by name a HYPOCRITE.

That was how the old fool called Edwin Clark and other illiterates from the South-South and South-East pushed Goatluck Jonascam into a deep pit by continously abusing the Ebora Owu.


Ajeku iya nioje, Ajeku iya nioje
Eniti 0le dani mu
Ti ondena deni
Ajeku iya nioje.

OBJ lacks morality to even condemn an armed robber. shameless old fool

Obasanjo is suffering from old age...... Man wey sleep with him son wife na better man be that?

Obasanjo is jealous of GEJ international recognition

Jonathan will always remain his nightmare.
Jealousy!
