A non-government organisation, the Ijaw Justice Forum (IJF) has advised President Muhammadu Buhari (PMB) to be wary of Ijaw elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark and investigate him for corrupt practices.
The advice was contained in a statement issued by the organisation, signed by its President, Karona Etonye and Secretary, Ekenwan Akwagbe.
IJF lamented that the comments attributed to Chief Clark last week in which he cast aspersions on the immediate past Nigerian president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan. The former Federal Commissioner for Information had on Wednesday, disclosed that former President Goodluck Jonathan meant well for the country, but the will power to fight corruption was not there, adding that ‘being a gentleman is not enough to govern this country’
The group recalled that Chief Clark’s comments were reminiscent of the sort of treatment he meted out to past governors of Delta state, from whose administrations he allegedly made immense gains.
