A group, the South-West Consultative Forum, has called on the Ijaw National Leader, Chief Edwin Clark, to stop what it described as his ill-informed and selfish advice for President Muhammadu Buhari.
This was as members of the group described Clark’s call on President Buhari to urgently appoint a chairman for the Presidential Amnesty Programme as “laughable, senseless and irresponsible from a former minister”.
In a statement issued yesterday in Lagos by its president, Mr. Osinowo Ibrahim, the forum requested the former Federal Commissioner for Information to shelve his advice for Buhari, alleging that “it was his bad advice that misled former President Goodluck Jonathan while in office”.

According to the statement, “This is to remind Chief Edwin Clark that the way he 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 went on to claim that if not for Clark’s bad advice, which caused bad blood between Jonathan and his political benefactor, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the relationship between the two leaders would have remained cordial till today.
The forum accused Clark and a former Niger Delta militant leader, Alhaji Asari Dokubo, of 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 people in his government.
