Elder statesman and leader of Pan Niger Delta Forum
(PANDEF), Chief Edwin Clark, has insisted that South-East must produce the next
president of Nigeria.
He said this when a presidential aspirant, Sen. Anyim Pius
Anyim, visited him on Friday.
Clark encouraged Anyim to work hard with other leaders
across the country to build consensus for equity and unity in Nigeria,
according to a statement after the visitation.
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”.
“I encourage you and others to continue the task of
persuading and reassuring other Nigerians to share that vision”, Clark added.
Anyim told the elder statesman and First Republic Minister of
Information 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.
“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,” he said.
