Elder statesman and leader of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Chief Edwin Clark, has insisted that the South-East geopolitical zone 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 was running for the Presidency of Nigeria because he understood the challenges facing Nigeria and had what it takes to fix them.

The former Senate President who is contesting 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 95 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.

You are becoming worse than that dead meat griller.

Wetin concern me with 2023 Election??

Am a proudly Biafra

All hail Biafra..

Says a PDP member
Seems PDP will now do the needful of giving its ticket to SE.
But for APC to give its ticket to SE, it's like handing over power to the PDP because SE is a stronghold of the PDP.

I like your dream and uptimism,however,...not all dreams come true.

In a multiparty democracy there is no reason for insisting on zonal or tribal Presidency.
Now they wake up from barking to action, they should eschew primitiveness by adopting concrete democratic solution.
When North wanted their perceived regional turn to be returned back to them in 2015 they didn't bring themselves so low to begging, intimidations, threats and blackmails but rather destroyed PDP politically and created new party by creating the only alliance that could give them assured victory without insisting on getting their mandate through the ruling party (PDP) and won election within 2yrs of the party creation.
In Nigerian politics, there is no compulsory in zoning, we should all get it through political process!

Anyway, Anyim's effort is better but he isn't sellable at all!

The same man that the children of hate were abusing recently now fighting for them
Life is not fair to ndi meth in this country

IPOB TERRORIST can't govern us for now.
We all know your hidden agenda




Star boy Osinbajo is our next PRESIDENT

Coward. Is it the north or Nigerians? Choose one because chief of the opposition the South East have is South West.

Stop talking bulshit please, both PDP and APC would eventually give their presidencial tickets to SE. Men of wisdom already know that's the only way to ensure that peace reigns.

Only selfish people with wicked hearts will want the SW to produce the president or to campaign for tinubu.

i have to disagree with you on this, in as much as i find it difficult to believe that any party will zone their ticket to the east, because every party is in the business to win election not to ensure political imbalances, zoning at this point will be very difficult under two party system, it would have been easier under pdp when their was no APC.

On the event of what happened in two 2015 under the pretence that pdp was not doing well .that was the only reason majority of us from the south supported that arrangement but now we can see clearly, power should returned to the south wether south east or south west the same way we supported power returning to the north.

Who told you APC will give an ibo man their ticket? Did you said that to boost your ego? Thinking APC will zone their ticket to SE is a tall dream that can't gel.

For now, continue fighting for Biafra that won't come while other Nigerians rule over you. You will get the presidential ticket the day y'all denounce anything associated with Biafra.

Nigerians aren't stupid to entrust the destiny of Nigeria on an ibo man.

It is good to aspire, but it is more important to be qualified...

Then collaborate with north to get power I'm sure you can pull it off without SW can't you?
