Jonathan Lacks Will Power To Fight Corruption – Edwin Clark Edwin Clark backs Buhari

Jonathan Lacks Will Power To Fight Corruption – Edwin Clark Edwin Clark
The Ijaw leader and elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark announced yesterday that he has retired from active politics.
He also said that former President Goodluck Jonathan never had the political will to fight corruption during his reign as president.
Clark who spoke while playing host to the Think Nigeria First Initiative group, who paid him a courtesy visit at his Asokoro residence in Abuja said former President Jonathan meant well for Nigeria but lacked political will to tackle corrupt politicians in the country.
He said, "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 acquires 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."
The elder statesman also reiterated his support for President Muhammadu Buhari's fight against corruption and urged Nigerians to support him.
According to Chief Clark, " 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 belong to all of us."
He also said that even though he is retiring from active politics, he will not stop lending his voice as an elder statesman.
He further advised those who are yet to recover from the loss of the 2015 general elections to put their differences aside and work together with the present administration to move Nigeria forward.
"If the man that contested the election conceded defeat, then who are you to continue to fight?

The ultimatum was that without the N200,000 none of them would be cleared by the lawmakers. However, the source said, “If you were around during their screening on the floor of the House, you would have noticed that all the nominees were only told to take a bow” and to go.

By Abdullahi Yusuf  Abuja The recent happings in Zaria regarding the  Islamic Movement of Nigeria  Army clash m a y have come to some people as a surprise, with some citizens describing the group as an unarmed and peaceful group. But it is never a surprise to especially those living in the northern part of the country especially those  who   live  in Zaria, Kaduna, katsina, Kano Sokoto  and other Northern States . There is no one who lives in the north that will ascribe peace to  this group  of peaple who operate with impunity, without regard s to  other people’s right. Before I go into the details of so many incidences involving these people in different parts of the north, let me state here that the account am about to give, is the truth about these people. Let me also state here that telling lies is permitted under the doctrine of the Shiites sect, therefore their account of what happened may not be the truth of what actually happened between them and the Nigeria Army.
