Edwin Clark insists South-East must produce next president

Chief Edwin Clark, the leader of Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), said the South-East must produce the next president of Nigeria.

 

 

He said this when a presidential aspirant, Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim, visited him on Friday.

 

 

During the visit, Chief Clark reaffirmed his passionate “belief that the presidency of Nigeria in 2023 must go to the Southern part of Nigeria and indeed to South-East zone”.

 

 

He encouraged Anyim to work hard with other leaders across the country to build consensus for equity and unity in Nigeria.

 

 

Clark said: “I encourage you and others to continue the task of persuading and reassuring other Nigerians to share that vision”

 

 

Anyim, however, told the elder statesman that he is running for the Presidency of Nigeria because he understands the challenges facing Nigeria and has what it takes to fix them.

 

 

The former Senate President who is contesting for the Presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party took the opportunity to consult with Clark on the state of the nation and his plan for the future.

 

 

He said: “I thank God that Chief Edwin Clark will soon be 90 years old and yet he is blessed with phenomenal memory, lucid and curious mind, a benevolent heart, and boundless goodwill for all men. I thank God for your health and will forever cherish your counsel.

 

 

“I will dedicate myself with full enthusiasm and conviction to advance the vision of equity in Nigeria, the unity of our nation, the peace and prosperity of all citizens.”
