Chief Edwin Clark, a national Ijaw leader and elder statesman, has said the Independent National Electoral Commission Chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega, is biased against President Goodluck Jonathan and he doesn’t want him to return for second term.
Clark, who spoke with journalists at his residence in Abuja on Friday said “I have lost confidence in INEC. How can a university professor be so biased and not want Jonathan to return for second term? It is so disgraceful that he has allowed ethnicity and religion to take control of him.”
He also described former president, Olusegun Obasanjo as being corrupt because he defended All Progressives Congress Candidate, Mohammadu Buhari over the N25bn supposedly unaccounted for by the Petroleum Trust Fund.
Clark said “What is wrong with PDP? That man (Obasanjo) should not be allowed to be in the party. You beg him all the time, (but) he has made up his mind. He gathered APC women to abuse President Jonathan.
“If you’re saying that a man you dissolved his committee (PTF) and could not account for N25bn is not corrupt, (then) Buhari and Obasanjo are the same. They are in a marriage of convenience just to remove Jonathan (from office).
“Because Obasanjo is corrupt, he doesn’t know what the definition of corruption is. There is big trouble in this country when corrupt people call others corrupt.”
