Less than three days Former President Olusegun Obasanjo endorsed the Labour Party(LP)presidential aspirant, Peter Obi as his preferred candidate in the 2023 general elections, one time Federal Commissioner for Information and South South Leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has also declared support Peter Obi’s presidential bid.

Clark made this known while addressing a press conference at his Asokoro Residence, Abuja, on Tuesday.

Clark assured that with Obi as President, Nigeria will unite coupled with his move to restructure the country.

He said Obi is well educated and experienced to steer the affairs of the country.

In his words, ”I have since been fully briefed on the successful outcome of the interaction held at that occasion. Among 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, among 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.

“That his restated commitment to restructuring and devolution of power, will promote harmony, peaceful coexistence amongst the states and constituent parts of the country.

“That his vision for more equity and justice as it pertains to the South-South region, which in the past sixty years has produced much of the revenue for the national economy, but has been neglected with little impact in terms of infrastructure and social development, is convincing and 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.

“His commitment to inclusion of qualified persons from the Niger Delta in the national governance process in the future government if elected into power is very reassuring.”

It would be recalled that Obasanjo in his New Year message, said Obi had an edge over all the candidates in the race for the number one seat of the country.
