Ex-Niger Delta militants who came under the umbrella of Niger Delta Liberation Force, NDLF, on Thursday berated former Federal Commissioner for Information, Chief Edwin Clark, for deserting the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and accusing former President Goodluck Jonathan of lacking the political will to fight corruption.

They reacted to yesterday’s statement of Clark by categorically telling the elder statesman to shut up and allow other Nigerians to judge GEJ’s stewardship.

Spokesman of the group, ‘Captain’ Mark Anthony maintained, in a statement, that Chief Clark lacks the moral justification to claim that former President, Goodluck Jonathan lacked the political will to fight corruption, stressing that, “We are surprised at the unguarded comments from a man who called himself elder statesman.”

While calling on Clark to be quiet in view of the role he played in the rot that rocked the immediate past administration, NDLF said: “We see Clark’s statement against GEJ as the height of betrayal and backstabbing to find favour with the current administration. President Muhammadu Buhari should be warned to distant himself from persons like Clark if he wants to end well.”

The statement reads further, “We support the ongoing anti-graft war and urge Buhari to extend the searchlight to people like Clark, who are fabulously rich rich. EFCC should track the various bank accounts of Clark and others, who do not hold formal government offices and known open businesses, but are stupendously wealthy.

“We urge Buhari to be impartial in his anti-graft war to bring all looters to book to create a new hope for the future generation of Nigeria.”
