Why Jonathan Is Angry With PDP -EK Clark

The betrayal of President Goodluck Jonathan by Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governors and other leaders of northern extraction is the major reason that he is angry with the party and refusal to identify with its activities since 2015, Chief Edwin EK Clark revealed on Tuesday.

Speaking when he received a delegation of Delta Central APC Leaders of Thought, DECALT led by its national leader, Chief Ominimini Obiuwevbi, in his Abuja residence, Chief EK Clark alleged that some people in his government and northern governors funded the APC in their determination to ensure the election of a northerner.

EK Clark noting that Jonathan had learnt his lesson, said:

“Now coming home politically, Jonathan was the president for some time as the result of the death of President Yar’Adua. Jonathan ruled for about five years, he is a Christian and the northerners said it was their turn.

“From 2011, they have been worrying Jonathan. Even in 2015, the northern PDP leaders ganged up with APC, Tinubu and removed Jonathan from office. They did not campaign, Jonathan was on his own.

“So, when people say why Jonathan is not in PDP, not attending PDP meetings, I can safely say that he’s learning his lesson that the people he trusted did not trust him. They squandered the party’s money and left.

“So, when people say why is Jonathan not in PDP, he knows how they betrayed him, how the northern PDP governors contributed money towards Buhari’s success, how members of government betrayed him,” EK Clark said in giving reasons why Jonathan is allegedly angry with the PDP.

“The national Chairman of PDP at the time was Governor (Adamu) Mu’azu. He did not go to his hometown to campaign, he was only following Jonathan about, he knew what he was doing. Everyone of them wanted Buhari to win. So, Buhari won. He has ruled for eight years.

“Now, the same northerners are now saying competence, no zoning, integrity.

“They maneuvered PDP with Alhaji Abubakar who has been wanting to be president of Nigeria over the years, championing the cause of division. So, the PDP, a party we love, PDP a party of southern Nigeria disappointed us.

“In 2019, 11 million people voted for Atiku Abubakar, PDP. Five million from the north, five million from the south. Now he doesn’t think that we ever did anything for him.

Besides opening up on why President Jonathan is angry with the PDP, EK Clark also spoke on the APC saying that he ordinarily would have voted for the party but has now pulled back after the party endorsed a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.
