An Elder Statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, has endorsed the candidacy of Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi for the 2023 general elections. Chief Clark announced his position at a news briefing in Abuja on Tuesday.
The elder statesman based his endorsement of Mr Obi, who is the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party on traits he believes are critical to leading the country. Explaining further, he cited honesty, trust, and transparency, all of which he said Obi displayed when he was governor of Anambra State.
Chief Clark called on Obi to tackle the issues of the injustices, and environmental degradation in the Niger Delta region if elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come next month.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which is the body saddled with the responsibility of organising elections in Nigeria has slated February 25, 2023, for the presidential election, which Obi is the flagbearer of the Labour Party.
He is in the race with the likes of Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice President who holds the flag of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); Bola Tinubu, former Lagos State governor and APC candidate and Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Kano State governor and ANPP candidate and a host of others.
