Two days after officially receiving an endorsement from a former president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, another elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, has endorsed the candidacy of Peter Obi, presidential flag-bearer of the Labour Party.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Clark who addressed journalists on Tuesday at his Asokoro residence, Abuja, said with Obi as President of Nigeria, the nation will unite.
He also stated that Obi was able to convince the Ijaw community on environmental justice to the clean-up of the polluted Niger Delta areas.
“I have since been fully briefed on the successful outcome of the interaction held at that occasion. Amongst other things, I have taken note of the following observations which came out of the meeting: That PANDEF presented the expectations and demands of the peoples of the Niger Delta, comprising infrastructural development, devolution of power, resource control, effective and inclusive participation in the oil and gas sector, amongst other things, to the Presidential Candidate.
“That the vision statement shared by His Excellency Peter Obi at the occasion, as it relates to making Nigeria more productive, using the rich resource endowment in every part of the country; curbing waste and fighting corruption; and creating jobs for our teeming youths through innovative initiatives is very commendable.
“Peter Obi’s commitment to environmental justice to the clean up of the Niger Delta polluted communities is most welcomed, given that even the ongoing Ogoni clean-up has been rather slow,” Clark said.
Obi will not win. Mark my word.
And you will die if he wins, cos you are already dying in pain, shame on you self-centered fool
“Obi will not win…”, Since when did you become God?
Bitter prophet Akambi
THE SAME OLD CARGOES WHO DESTROYED NIGERIA AND GOT US WHERE WE ARE, IN A BAD SHAPE, CURRENTLY.
