Elder statesman, Edwin Clark has doubled down on his assertion that the South-East geopolitical zone should produce the president in 2023.
Clark re-echoed his stance over the weekend while receiving presidential aspirant, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, in his Abuja home.
He encouraged Anyim to work with other leaders of South-East extraction to build consensus, stating that “the presidency of Nigeria in 2023 should go to the Southern part of Nigeria and indeed to the Southeast zone.
“I encourage you and others to continue the task of persuading and reassuring other Nigerians to share that vision.”

He promised to dedicate himself with full enthusiasm and conviction to advance the vision of equity in Nigeria as well as the unity of the nation and the peace and prosperity of all citizens.
