Clark Speaks About Jonathan After
Quitting PDP
More details have emerged about the quit of
Chief Edwin Clark, the former federal
commissioner for information, from the Peoples
Democratic Party.
Clark, who used to be Goodluck Jonathan’s
active supporter, broke the news on Wednesday,
October 7, in Abuja.
The specific reason was not provided. Clark
simply said he had left politics and was not
going to join the All Progressives Congress as
some might allege.
Vanguard gives more information about the
recent development reporting that the elder
statesman reiterated his support for President
Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption war.
He also noted that Jonathan had meant well for
Nigeria, adding, however, that “being a
gentleman is not enough to govern this country”.
“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?

Militants’ Meeting
“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.”
Some believe that Clark’s exit from the party
might be connected with its loss in the general
elections.
