So, if Clark says he wants to join the APC tomorrow, the ediots on this forum will jump for joy, even after castigating him. Read his interview well, you will deduce that, he is still in the PDP, but just not active. The PDP has made it clear, that the days of Anenih and Clark are long gone. Unlike the living dead APC who prefer to die in politics, in the PDP, they have been benched and the baton has been passed to the young. In 6 yearstime, Nigerians will understand and appreciate the innovative agenda of the new PDP.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

PDP is a disaster to Nigeria...Very soon it would b a BIG shame to identify with PDP...

These were the people that destroyed Jonathan's government. My own is that I blame jonathan for not being politically smart. It was only the igbos that genuinely supported Jonathan. Even the SS was against him. Jonathan abandoned the likes of Ekwueme, Nnamani etc for people like edwin clark and peter obi that were just after their stomachs.. nonsense

cry me a river!

All these people seeking attention in the new dispensation by bashing the previous. Thus same man made provocative statements both in favor of GEJ and against Buhari. ..

I don read am! I can't fault him because I wasn't impressed with GEJ anti-corruption fight. As for Buhari, I support prosecution of ANY thief but I will continue to maintain that he has been insincere so far. As for Clark, he's a good riddance to politics! Thank God the old man is retiring from PDP!

But you do realise what he just did to what is left of PDP's political stock?

Why the need to make an exit speech??

Me feels he has beef with some people & decided to F everything up!!

I see more big names following suit.

Na Papa clark dey talk like this, make una they fear God oooo......doing a 180 degree turn within 6 months.

The same man who did not see anything GOOD about Buhari is now referring to him a super hero.

It a typical claim that those who say u will not progress will see and attend your celebration progress in life n wealth.

Drop a like for Amen jor!!

Day169:
I can't believe what I just read! Coming from Edwin Clark? The same man who was ready to defend Mr Jonathan to the death, and a major beneficiary of the same Government? ..It seems my mind's playing tricks on me!

Wake up to the real reality bro

EDWIN CLARK:- LOOKING FOR MINISTERIAL NOMINATION SINCE 317B.C.

People who talk much are bound to change opinion. Leave Pa GEJ alone. Thanks for been non partisan but leave GEJ alone.

I know that one day the truth will be told like this one. I can not say that our immedate past president had a clear vision of what he wants to do for his country.

He think say e easy...

After next year's gloomy economic situation, just mentioning you know an APC supporter, will earn you a GUNSHOT to your head. Keep on digging your own grave.

Thank you for speaking well my chief...but you too failed to advise your brother. You were a huge beneficiary of his corrupt government. Wait ooo! Na chief Eddy dey talk so abi na doctored tape? No na it can't be you na. Chief Eddy can't say a thing like this na. Have you forgotten so suddenly all the things you said? I dey wait for the western press to press you more.

TonyeBarcanista:
I'm not an hypocrite like you that supports corruption as long as it is APC. Unlike you, I'm an apostle of prosecution of all criminals irrespective of party, religion or tribe.

Can we prosecute GEJ, Wike and Mama Peace now?

the information here different from that of the Nation

What is different? Did you read it all? Maybe I should help you out.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/10/edwin-clark-backs-buhari-says-jonathan-too-gentle-to-fight-corruption/

Former Federal Commissioner for Information and South South leader, Chief Edwin Clark, on Wednesday, disclosed that former President Goodluck Jonathan meant well for the country, but the will power to fight corruption was not there, adding that ‘being a gentleman is not enough to govern this country’
He also said he is quitting partisan politics but would play the role of an Elder Statesman, who would be a father to all.

He reiterated his support for Buhari’s anti-corruption crusade, uring Nigerians to stop talking about sectional or selective justice in the fight against corruption.

“It is not everything done by the opponent that is wrong. I will therefore support the policies that are for the good of the country because Nigeria belongs to all of us.”
“We are all to support him, particularly in his determination to eradicate corruption in Nigeria. For eight years Obasanjo legalised corruption. Yet, he’s the one talking about corruption. If your brother is arrested, did he give you money? If your sister was arrested for corruption, did she give you money?

“Jonathan didn’t have the political will-power to fight corruption. He’s too a gentleman. Drivers of yesterday are living in palatial buildings now under his government. In advanced countries, when you are living above your means, people query you. That’s not so in Nigeria. Former governors and lawmakers are now asking for immunity.

“Jonathan meant well for this country, but the will power to fight corruption was not there.

“In an ideal society, when a man who earns 20,000 as his monthly salary and all of a sudden he acquire something that is worth N100,000, he should be questioned, but here in Nigeria, immunity has covered those that should be questioned.

Loooooooooooooool

Coming from The Nations Newspaper


I'll be sooo s t u p i d to spend another minute on this thread

Try this one:

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/10/edwin-clark-backs-buhari-says-jonathan-too-gentle-to-fight-corruption/

The Ijaw Leader, Chief Edwin Clark, on Wednesday said former president Goodluck Jonathan lacked the political will to fight corruption while in office.


“Jonathan meant well for this country, but the will power to fight corruption was not there.

http://thenationonlineng.net/jonathan-lacked-will-power-to-fight-corruption-clark/[/quote]Gej, also suffer from the paucity of leading, he's not authoritative independent


how can he fight what he does, gentleness is not a character coz it can be a disguise and pretence

no matter how black you will paint him Jonathan still remains my role model

Singing>>Them Be Wailing Wailers, Wailing Wailers!!

Good that this statement is coming from this so-called elder statesman at this time after collecting 4million per month for 4months and in the name of national conference.

Bros Jona, shebi you don dey see dem one by one.


Judas like you, mtcheww.

All wailers nw don enter ghost mode like olamide and phyno.

Where are those die-hard Jonathanians? Even the recognised Jonathanians-in-chief have started confessing. Even GEJ should see now that those criticising him then were actually his well-wishers. A lesson here for today's men.

This man is no elder statesman! I swear he will denial making these statements.
Mad dentity!

Even in old age, some thieves have no honour.
It had better be the onset of dementia.
Nothing else can excuse this.

You see how hypocritical you can be? Let's analyze these two statements from you.
First, you weren't impressed with GEJ's anti corruption fight.
Then you support Buhari's prosecution of any thief but you will continue to maintain he has been insincere SO FAR.

As at Mar 28th, Buhari was not the president so you had no premonition of how he was going to go about his war on corruption yet you campaigned against him vigorously. Even when the cardinal point of his campaign was anti-corruption, you instead employed every arsenal at your disposal to campaign for A MAN WHO YOU WERE NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY HE WAS SILENT ON CORRUPTION.
While Edwin Clark is going to heaven after this confession, you are heading straight to hell for your hypocrisy.

… Hails Buhari’s anti-graft crusade

… Quits partisan politics

The Ijaw Leader, Chief Edwin Clark, on Wednesday said former president Goodluck Jonathan lacked the political will to fight corruption while in office.

He hailed President Muhammadu Buhari’s ongoing anti-corruption crusade.

The former federal commissioner for Information also announced his retirement from partisan politics.

Clark said he has quit the Peoples Democratic Party and will not join the ruling All Progressive Congress.

Despite announcing his retirement from politics, the elder statesman said he will continue to speak out against any form of injustice anywhere in the country.

Clark, who spoke while hosting the “Think Nigeria First Initiative” group, who visited him at his Asokoro Residence, Abuja, said Jonathan meant well for Nigeria but lacked political will to tackle corrupt politicians in the country.

He said, “I have joined the group of those who don’t belong to any political party anymore.

“I no longer belong to the PDP. I won’t go to the APC either, but I will continue to talk as an elder statesman and leader of this country. I have left politics. If anyone comes to me to say he’s running for any elective position in PDP or APC, I won’t support you. I’m not a member of the PDP anymore.

“I’m a true Nigerian. I have Muslims in my house even though I’m a Christian. Boko Haram is a problem of all of us and we must fight it together.”

He reiterated his support for Buhari’s quest to fight corruption and urged Nigerians to support him.

“It is not everything done by the opponent that is wrong. I will therefore support the policies that are for the good of the country because Nigeria belongs to all of us.”

“We are all to support him, particularly in his determination to eradicate corruption in Nigeria. For eight years Obasanjo legalised corruption. Yet, he’s the one talking about corruption. If your brother is arrested, did he give you money? If your sister was arrested for corruption, did she give you money?

“Nobody should distract Buhari from fighting corruption. People should stop talking about sectional or selective justice.

“Jonathan didn’t have the political will-power to fight corruption. He’s too a gentleman. Drivers of yesterday are living in palatial buildings now under his government. In advanced countries, when you are living above your means, people query you. That’s not so in Nigeria. Former governors and lawmakers are now asking for immunity.

“That is not the kind of country that we want. Being a gentleman is not enough to govern this country.”
