Obasanjo,Buhari Are in a Marriage of Convenience to Remove Jonathan -Clark

Chief Edwin Clark, popular Ijaw chieftain and ally of President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday told VANGUARD that former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC are in ''a marriage of convinience to remove President Jonathan from office''.

The Ijaw chief who applauded President Jonathan for signing the Abuja accord said, ''’Buhari cannot be trusted to keep the agreement''.

Speaking on Obasanjo's recent statement which cleared Buhari of wrongdoing during his time at PTF, Clark said, ''Obasanjo is defending him(Buhari) because he wants APC to win. A man you dissolved his committee, PTF, could not account for N25billion and you are now saying that the man is not corrupt… Buhari and Obasanjo are the same. They are in a marriage of convenience just to remove Jonathan. How much corruption have you found in Jonathan that you are calling him corrupt?''.

Clark also called for Obasanjo's expulsion from the 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''.
