Edwin Clark, Elder statesman and leader of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, announced that former Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Adamu have been imposed by former President Muhammadu Buhari, as national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC regardless of his alleged corruption charges by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

This was stated by the clark during an interview on Arise Television.

He condemned the freedom enjoyed by alleged corrupt politicians in the country.

The elder statesman also stated that nothing has been heard so far about 15 the former governors and ministers who were dragged to court during the period when Nuhu Ribadu was the chairman of the EFCC.

Clark said, “In 2007, more than 15 former governors and ministers were charged to court during Ribadu’s time as the EFCC chairman.

“Some of them were charged to courts in Lagos, Abuja and so on. But after some time, some of these cases were not heard again.

“All we heard was that these same governors had been cleared to contest senatorial seats. Let me take a case of Abdullahi Adamu, who was the governor of Nasarawa State in 1999.

“He was charged to court for embezzling money from his state to the tune of N15 billion with other commissioners who were to be charged to court in Nasarawa State.

“Then after being charged to court he contested election to the Senate and he won and he has been there and nobody cared about him. Thereafter, former President Muhammadu Buhari imposed him as the National Chairman of the APC.

“We have many such people in the APC. Nobody heard about his trial again. He became an honest man and talked about corruption more than any other person,” he said.
