Elder statesman and Ijaw national leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has
described all those angling to take over President Goodluck Jonathan’s
seat in 2015 as corrupt.
He said it was also wrong to accuse the president of not fighting
corruption as the menace did not start with his administration.

“He didn’t start corruption. In fact, the military started it in the earnest”, he said.
Clark, who spoke at his Asokoro, Abuja residence on Wednesday, while
receiving leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party from the South-South,
said he was in possession of documents that would expose the president’s
opponents but he would not release them until the timing is right.
According to the former Federal Commissioner for Information, Kano
State Governor, Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso, was indicted in 2003 for
embezzling ecological funds belonging to Kano State. “He went to court
to stop the indictment but he failed”, Clark said.
“Imagine Bukola Saraki that is also shouting. He used different names
to open over 18 bank accounts. That is why the police invited him for
questioning. Instead of going to explain himself, he went to court to
stop police investigation”.
Continuing in his expose, the Ijaw leader said, “Is it (Sule) Lamido
that will say he is not corrupt? He did not finish secondary school and
he wants to become president. Let him come and deny that he did not
finish secondary school”.
On Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, he said, “His company was owing
every bank to the extent that the CBN said no bank should lend him money
again, but a year after becoming a governor, he paid all the debts,
where did he get the money to pay such?”
He said it was wrong for anyone to think that Jonathan was not doing
well, saying that no other president has done half of what President
Jonathan has done in the history of this country.
“All of them should leave Jonathan alone, he has done more than any
one of them all”, even as he advised those aspiring for the 2015
presidency to give up their aspirations because “there is no vacancy in
Aso Rock. Jonathan will contest in 2015 and he will win”.
