A former Federal Commissioner of Information, Chief Edwin Clark, has said that he has no comment to make on the return of a former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori to Nigeria.
“No comment. I say no comment” was the only thing Chief Edwin Clark told news men when the news filtered in that Ibori had arrived.
The former governor arrived at his Oghara country home, headquarters of Ethiope West Local Government of Delta state today, Saturday, wearing dark ash long sleeve shirt and navy blue jean trouser. He was welcomed by his kinsmen, politicians, friends and top functionaries of the state government.
Human movement literally stood still at Oghara shortly after his arrival from Benin Airport in company of a litany of politicians, including his long-standing All Progressives Congress (APC), Chieftain Ally, Chief Ayiri Emami.
His entourage could not disembark on arrival because of the mammoth crowd as the villagers and political associates and friends flooded his country home
Chief Edwin Clark, who was one of the antagonists of the ex-convict former governor, said he would not make any comment on his release and return to Nigeria from the United Kingdom where he served a jail term for corruption.
It would be recalled that Clark and other elders from the state wrote a petition to the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) on alleged looting of resources of the state when the former governor was at the helm of affairs in the state. [myad]
