Ijaw national leader, Chief Edwin Clark has endorsed the presidential ambition of Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State.
Clark, a foremost Nigerian nationalist and former Information Minister who received Umahi in a consultation visit at his Abuja residence, said it was the turn of Igbos to produce the next President of Nigeria.
According to Clark: “When I say I want a president of Nigeria of Igbo extraction, I do not mean someone from Delta or Rivers State or anywhere else safe from a pure southeast Igbo President.
“My preferred choice is Igbo. So, my son, I have heard you, I have prayed for you, whatever you deserve, God will grant it for you.
“When you defected to APC, I asked why, we all are fighting this cause but if the PDP, we the Igbo served 100% abandoned the Igbos, then we all will abandon the PDP, I have told them already.”
