2015: The Opposition Is Too Desperate, They can Kill Jonathan – EK Clark
Ijaw leader, Chiefh E.K. Clark has alleged that some members of the
leading opposition party in Nigeria, the All Progressives Congress (APC)
are desperate to take over power in 2015 and as such they can kill or
poison President Goodluck Jonathan in their bid to achieve their aim.
Speaking in Abuja at a conference held at the instance of the PDP Ward2Ward Initiative, Clark said from the utterances of some APC members in the face of the biting insecurity, he is seeing danger signals.
"This morning, I read one of the newspapers. The national chairman of one of our parties said that Nigeria was moving towards anarchy. I was shocked. Coming here, I want to make a statement about it. Today, you are here on your own because you believe in Nigeria. The future is here.
“Do not be deceived. Nigeria is a great country. Those abroad want to come home.
Everywhere in this world, there are problems. Do not deride your country. The fact that you are in the opposition does not mean you should deride the country. I pray that the opposition joins hands with the government to tackle the problems in the north.
“But when we have an apposition whose intention is to take over power, there is a problem. I appeal to the national chairman of APC to tread carefully. If they even have their way, they can kill or poison Jonathan just to take over power. If Nigeria falls, there will no country for the opposition to take over.”
