Terrorism: Edwin Clark Wants Nigerians To Learn From Paris Attack.. by Kingspin(m): 7:34pm On Jan 16, 2015 |
Abuja :The Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has lashed out at the opposition for always criticizing President Goodluck Jonathan over insecurity in the Northeast, saying they should learn from the recent incident in Paris, France, where terrorists killed 12 journalists. Clark, who is a political father of the President, told Journalists in Abuja that former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his deputy, Abubakar Atiku, are the most corrupt leaders that the country has ever produced. He did not also spare the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammad Buhari, whom he said was not as clean as people were made to believe. The former federal commissioner, who spoke when he received a delegation of Northern Youths Movement for Positive Change led by David Glavda, said: we should learn from the recent incidence in Paris where terrorists killed 12 journalists in a bomb attack. Over 3.7 million people marched in solidarity with their President and that was attended by over 40 world leaders. “But in Nigeria, the opposition will use the press to attack the government for no just cause and make inflammatory and inciting statements that the Boko Haram was brought by Mr. president while they know that Boko Haram is mainly used to destabilize the government in support of the statements they made earlier that ‘they will make the country ungovernable unless they are in power.” He said the opposition does not see insecurity as “a national problem.” “They refused the extension of state of emergency in the three northern states in order to benefit from the confusion that will arise during elections in those areas where insurgency thrives,” he added. Speaking on corruption charges against the Jonathan led government, the elder statesman told journalists that those shouting to the roof were the real corrupt people. He alleged that Obasanjo and Atiku were the most corrupt leaders. He said: “Those of them who are corrupt are the ones shouting corruption to divert attention. Obasanjo is one of the most corrupt leaders and I am going to give my own account of him very soon because he has been busy shouting corruption and he is the most corrupt person. Abubakar Atiku is another corrupt person. Both himself and Obasanjo accused themselves of squandering PTDF money. “They are shouting corruption, corruption, what do you want to do to fight corruption? They have not said anything. On the APC presidential candidate, Chief Clark said his hands were not clean as people were made to believe. He said, “Buhari brought three consultants, his in-laws and they were mere consultants. Because as usual he was not mentally alert, he cannot do anything, he delegated the job of PTF to this three people who were mere consultants as executive director. “My brother (Prof. Clark who was also a member of board) even threatened to resign. Buhari did nothing at PTF. It was these people that were busy running PTF excluding other members of the trust fund. “And at the end of it, Obasanjo sets up inquiry and that inquiry found Buhari and his three men guilty of squandering N25billion and that had been unaccounted for till today. Obasanjo in the interest of peace refused to make the outcome of the report public. “Last week that report was leaked, we are going to comment. If anybody says that Buhari’s hands are clean that is not true.” wwww.thenationonineng.net |

Did Clark see how France fished out the killers in France? The French president got into action by mobilizing 88,000 police and soldiers to tackle the killers within 24 hours. We didn't see the president of France ask his fellow citizen to pray to solve their problem. The president of France motivated his country when the country needed him to do so. 2 Likes |
