2023: If we fail to come up with a candidate in the South, I will support Saraki – Edwin Clark

South-South political chieftain, Chief Edwin Clark, has expressed that he will support former Senate President, Bukola Saraki if the South fails to produce a candidate.

The Chieftain made this known when he spoke in Abuja after the Abubakar Bukola Saraki Contact and Advocacy Council, headed by its National Chairman, Prof Iyorwuese Hagher, paid him a courtesy call to inform him about the plan of the former Senate President to contest the 2023 presidential election.

The group emphasized the need for national cohesion through the emergence of a presidential candidate who has shown character and competence to deliver on national issues.

Clark in his response applauded the performance of Saraki in the 8th Senate, while emphasizing that if the Southern part of the country failed to produce a candidate, he would support Saraki’s presidential ambition.

“We have been agitating for the presidency to be zoned to the south. However, if we fail to come up with a consensus candidate in the South, I will have no option than to support Dr. Bukola Saraki,” Chief Clark declared.
