“What is wrong with PDP? Obasanjo should not be allowed to be in the party,” Chief Edwin Clark, Elder statesman and a former Federal Commissioner for Information, said.
Chief Edwin Clark has urged the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party to dismiss former President Olusegun Obasanjo from the party. Obasanjo was accused of collaboration with the opposition party against President Goodluck Jonathan.
Particularly, the former president was blamed for criticism of the President and alleged support of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.). This became known during Clark’s meeting with journalist at his residence in Abuja on Friday.
He claimed, “Obasanjo is defending Buhari over the N25bn unaccounted for at the Petroleum Trust Fund headed by Buhari because he wants APC to win. How much corruption have you found in Jonathan that you are calling him corrupt?”
Buhari and Obasanjo are the same. They are in a marriage of convenience just to remove Jonathan. 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.
What is wrong with PDP? That man (Obasanjo) should not be allowed to be in the party. You beg him all the time, he has made up his mind. He gathered APC women to abuse President Jonathan.”
In his speech he also doubted the unbiasedness of the Independent National Electoral Commission, saying that the ethnicity and religion to take control of the chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega.
Besides, he observed that the violence-free accord signed by presidential candidates including President Jonathan, Buhari and 12 others will not work because Buhari was not likely to keep to the terms of the agreement.
