I did not benefit anything from Jonathan as president – Clark




Frontline Niger Delta leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has faulted the report that he betrayed former President, Goodluck Jonathan.

He was reportedly quoted as saying that the ex-President lacked the political will to fight corruption.

Clark, while describing the report as malicious, said he never made such statement.

The elder statesman, who has been under fire from associates of the former President over the statement, said his decision to quit partisan politics was irked by the ex-President’s defeat at the polls.

In the letter, the former Minister of Information cleared himself from the various allegations of betrayal levelled against him, adding that close associates of the former President and some party leaders sold Jonathan out.

His words: “My statements on President Jonathan and my quitting partisan politics were wickedly, sensationally presented.

“It must be admitted that President Jonathan was very willing to fight corruption
