Clark: How Buhari Got Himself Out Of The Presidential Race by midolian(m): 8:39am On Mar 14, 2015 |
Ijaw leader and former Minister of Information, Chief Edwin Clark, said on Friday that having compromised his stance on corruption by promising not to punish corrupt officials between 1999 and 2015, Gen Muhammadu Buhari has lost his unique selling point – fight against corruption – and as such has lost the major plank of his campaign. It is widely believed that Buhari’s new stance on anti-corruption fight was to avoid dealing with one of the key leaders of his party, the All Progressives Congress, Sen. Bola Tinubu, who is perceived to have corruptly enriched himself while in office as Lagos State governor between 1999 and 2007. Clark, while addressing a press conference on Friday in Abuja, said that with the renewed offensive against the Boko Haram insurgency by President Goodluck Jonathan, Buhari has nothing more to offer as his campaign promise is hinged primarily on fighting the insurgents and corruption. He however called on President Goodluck Jonathan to reorganise the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to give the anti-graft agency more powers to fight corruption and other related financial crimes in the country. According to Clark, "Given that nothing substantial is being done to fight corruption, one is primed to advise Mr. President to immediately reorganise the EFCC to effectively discharge of its mandate. "In all advanced democracies, anti graft agencies would swing into action following the kind of revelations and allegations against most people walking free on our streets today. Unfortunately, our own anti-graft agencies have simply adopted a siddon-look position. What a shame." Clark who lampooned the APC presidential candidate for his compromise in his campaign promises, said, "General Muhammadu Buhari has always anchored his campaign promises on two cardinal planks: to wipe out insecurity and corruption. With the renewed offensive against the terrorists leading to the killing and dislodgement of the Boko Haram anarchists, the first campaign plank of Buhari has been given a technical knockout by President Goodluck Jonathan and the whole world is witnessing the reclaiming of all territories hitherto held by Boko Haram. "This leaves him on a one legged platform. Again, on the remaining – corruption - General Buhari himself got jittery and gave himself another technical knockout when he said that he will not probe past leaders. "With this development, Buhari has conceded that he has nothing more to offer the good people's of this country. In fact, I make bold to say that he is now standing for nothing and like they say he can fall for anything." http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/clark-how-buhari-got-himself-out-of-the-presidential-race/204002/ 5 Likes 2 Shares |

This Clark is ..... It's not good for me to insult you even though you sound deranged. Old man, do you think there is any wisdom in Buhari pledging to investigate all past cases of corruption since 1999? For your information, Buhari might actually probe those cases but it will be stupid of him to be promising that. You may need to be reminded that it was a similar pledge by Awolowo that made OBJ and others to deny him the presidency. On the other hand, GMB has sound reasoning not to favour probing past cases of corruption when he said doing so will divert their attention and focus from attending to more pressing issues of the nation. Abi make he use all four years dey probe GEJ/OBJ/IBB/Atiku et al? It's interesting at the same time disheartening to see that you admit Jonathan has not done anything about corruption yet you want us to vote for him. For this comment it's obvious that you are corrupt, divisive, and senile sir. On security, sensible Nigerians know that the success we have achieved now is because of election. Thus if there was no election, the BH boys would have continued to massacre innocent citizens just because some people are being made billionaires through the insurgency! Mba! The issue cannot be wished away a bit even if there is not a single Boko Haram member on the surface of the earth. We shall continue to talk about how GEJ/PDP handled this one many many years to come. We need a leader who is always ready to stand up to insurgency in whatever form and whenever it rears its ugly head. There may be another kind of insurgency and militancy in future and we don't have to wait till then to be prepared. GMB fits into that role than GEJ the clueless one.

Nigerians want Buhari so as to make sure Corruption will not continue. We don't want him to spend his tenure chasing people. And the government did not institute a case against your past does not mean an individual, group or organizations will not. Clark never supported Buhari, so this rant is just a fading kick of an opportunist. There is nothing good about it. We will continue drowning in the massive Corruption of Jonathan. Vote for Change. Sai Buhari. 4 Likes |

GMB has no agenda for Nigeria period! He is just desperate for power like most politicians.. me aint buying that his shitt about corruption.. they said charity begins @ home.. GMB should tell me how he intends fighting corruption when "Corrupt persons" are funding his presidential campaign.. oR does he think fighting corruption is by word of the mouth ONLY?

Buhari stated that he will NOT probe anyone between punish corrupt officials between 1999 and 2015. That's the truth. The chief reason people wanted Buhari was to go and jail corrupt people. Is it not so ? And Buhari has come out to say he will not punish anyone from 1999 to 2015. What is he going to Aso Rock to do again ? To give Tinubu his sponsor Oil Wells ? Buhari has NOTHING to offer Nigerians. He should go home and tend his cows. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

The only set of people who still listen to this old man are the militants in the creeks. He is obviously not wise enough to see the wisdom in GMB's lack of interest in what will be a major distraction in probing past corruption cases. They are also the ones that will quickly turn around and say he doesn't have mercy and he "jailed people that stole money that is not enough to buy private jets" 1 Like |
