The pure truth of this matter is Pa Clark was being economical with the truth or he only decided to be soft on Jonathan.

What he actually meant to say is JONATHAN WAS TOO CORRUPT TO FIGHT CORRUPTION.

A friend told me few months ago about Ijaw people's behaviour, he said when an ijaw man is in place of power, they celebrate him to the high heavens but immediately he leaves the position, the same people who celebrated him earlier will make a u-turn and call him a foolish man and all sort of names. The person told me this when boy loaf and some militants started castigating Jonathan after may 29. I did not believe my friend then but with what I can now hear what papa Clark is saying, am sorry to say that my friend was right after all.

Only the Sout East continues to carry Jonathan on their head everywhere they go like MTN. grin

… 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.

“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.

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

shame on you old man. If every one should betray gej, I doubt you should be among.

PDP now losing hope after gej second term lost. But they were dining with him when he was In power. We all knew what you are telling us today already even if some fools failed to accept gej was a disaster to our nation.

Some mumu ppl go still wail and tell us PDP will rise again. Where ? When ? How ?. PDP is a sinking ship that will sink forever and ever (AMEN) tongue
Are you naturally daft ?

Can't you see that it is the same set of people that were in PDP are the same set of people shouting 'change'

What is happening between Saraki and the APC is beginning to open my eyes , wake up we are all in cages of these politicians.

Not because they love him, but cos of their irrational islamophobia & hatred for H/F folks, & PMB happens to be both.

But the major super glue is the crumbs falling for some of their leaders(which never transformed their lives or states) while diezani & the militants were balling real hard...

Haaaa!
Are you sure this man is not talking at gun point? I knew him to be the class captain of corruption under GEJ. He swore to high heavens to pull Nigeria down alongside Tokunbo if their boy is not returned as President. What now happened suddenly? I could remember when he said "If PDP goes down we all go down". Or has Baba Owu hypnotised him with the Elders stateman charm?
Please pardon my many questions, but na fear they catch me oo! If this is how people change and give their lives to Christ, heaven go don full oo! Hehehehehe!

He has seen the light. But that his statement carry weight. And its the truth.

The Grandfather of TANoidism has finally come out to be honest and condemn the cretin we had as president.

The part I disagree with him on is that the Cretin of Otuoke meant well for this country.

The Cretin of Otuoke was not a gentleman, he was just a dumbman.

I said this over and over and over again before the 2011 elections.

E no go better for all those still saying the support GEJ "Transformation". May you and your families always face misery and suffering.

If I remember well, was it not the same man who declared there was no vacancy in Aso Rock. He even played political godfather to Jonathan. He was one of the people who praised the former president to his political grave. Beware of these old men.
