Chief Edwin Clark
The
South-West Consultative Forum has called on the former Minister of
Information and Ijaw National Leader, Chief Edwin Clark, to stop what it
described as his ill advice for President Muhammadu Buhari.
The forum said Clark’s call on President
Buhari for appointment of an adviser to the Amnesty Office was
“laughable, senseless and irresponsible from a former minister.”
In a statement signed on Friday in Lagos
by its president, Mr. Osinowo Ibrahim, the forum asked Clark to shelve
his advice for Buhari, saying that “it was his bad advice that misled
former President Goodluck Jonathan while in office.”
The statement read, “This is to remind
Chief Edwin Clark that the way he has misled former President Goodluck
Jonathan and the former Governor of Delta State, Mr. Emmanuel Uduaghan,
with selfish advice on governance will not be tolerated this time
around.”
Ibrahim said but for Clark’s bad advice
that caused bad blood between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and
Jonathan, the relationship between the two leaders would have remained
cordial till today.
He,
however, said Clark and a former Niger Delta militant leader, Alhaji
Asari Dokubo, had also been making some treasonable statements by
threatening to mobilise the Niger Delta youths against the government in
case Buhari refuses to take care of the interest of the South-South
in his government.
