Chief Edwin Clark, the leader of Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), said the Southeast 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”
