South- South leader, Chief Edwin Clark, yesterday, took a swipe at the Presidency, saying that when the time comes for the people of the South-East to produce the President of the country, nobody can stop them.
According to the Ijaw leader, giving the people of the South-East region a condition that their presidency in 2023 could only be guaranteed and achieved if they vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 was unnecessary and must be condemned in all its ramifications.
The elder statesman was reacting to a statement by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, that the South-East endorsement of Buhari’s re -election will secure their presidency in 2023.
Clark said that what was required in Nigeria at the moment and years to come was good governance.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja after he paid a condolence visit to Governor Henry Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State over the death of his mother, Ma Goldcoast Dickson, the elder statesman lampooned the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, on the assertion that for the South-East people to have the presidency in 2023, they must vote for Buhari.
Clark said, “That is a very unusual statement. Is it a threat or an appeal? Nigerians will always vote for the candidates they believe in, candidates that will rule Nigeria without any trouble, without religious fanaticism, someone who doesn’t believe in ethnicity, somebody competent enough, healthy enough to rule Nigeria .

“This is the greatest country in Africa; by the way, the Igbo are in the South-East, they are part of this country from the First Republic. No one has put them aside; so when the time comes for the Igbo to be the President of Nigeria, nobody will dispute to it or stop them.”

Earlier, Clark, who noted that he was at the residence of the governor to sympathize with him over the death of his mother, said that Dickson’s mum will be a very happy mother after giving her a befitting burial that had been slated for January next year in Delta State, adding that the mother left behind a very dynamic and progressive son.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF), Mr. Boss Mustapha, had, while speaking with journalists after a meeting between Buhari and the South-East governors at the Presidential Villa on Wednesday, urged the Igbo to endorse Buhari’s re- election bid in order to secure the presidency in 2023.
Mustapha had said: “This obviously might not be most appropriate time. You remember there was a programme in the south-east where Mr. President asked me to represent him and I flew the kite by telling the south-eastern states that their quickest and easiest means to presidency is to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term”.

ok

Oga we need good leaders . Why do nigerians prefer zoning of political office to good leadership

What we need is freedom and zoo president.

You've spoken well my brother, they can never deceive the Igbos with 2023 president..


What we need in this country is a good leader not a religious fanaticism or someone that believed in ethnicity..

We need someone that is competent and healthy enough to rule Nigeria..

As it stands now, the right time is 2023.

Vote and reelect Buhari in 2019, then Igbo Presidency in 2023.

But if you mumu and follow Atiku, you are your worst enemy.

The right time will come at the right time!

In one Nigeria I believe!!

Papa, abeg forget matter.

When is "right time"?

Igbo have made more sacrifice than any ethnic group in this country just to see Nigeria move forward.

Civil war ended when? But the Igbo would rather give another 8yrs to Hausa/Fulani just to ensure Nigeria is rescued from complete annihilation, than play selfish ethnic politics of allowing another 4yrs of destruction in the hope that one corrupt politician can advance his personal presidential ambition as one ethnic group tends to play.

Say NO to baba so wipe brand of politics.

You mean, people should vote in again a failed government, a government that has failed every indices of good governance for a promise that they will come out tomorrow to deny they never made in the first place.

Gbam you said it all bro.

Edwin Clark an Ijaw man, if you decided to follow his Dubious advice, you will be left behind while we the Sane, Honest, and patriotic Nigerians will be moving to the Next level with PMB.

Wise words of an elder. No one can stop the realization of an idea whose time has come.

Maybe when Nigeria is mature enough. Talk of the year 2220.

Says who Mr. Clark

As long as our politics is a game of numbers and with the northerners infused into every strategic government agency responsible for data collection, electioneering processes and the likes, it will always be the north aligning with their ally's, the yorubas, to rotate the presidency except the format for vote counting changes (for instance, a win in one geopolitical zone, say NE, amounts to 1 vote or a win in one state equals one vote instead of say over 5M single votes, tipping the scale to favor whosoever that region supports)

So as it stands, except the Igbos align, no time will ever be right. #SadTruth

is laurette onochie sane?
Is ganduje honest?
Is buhari and his 5% mentality patriotic.

The real sane and honest people are the ipob who knows how to call a spade a spade. The only patriotic nigerian ever was nnamdi azikiwe...he is dead now. The rest are ethnic champions

Igbo Presidency will come - in another 50 years, if they change their hateful attitude that is.

The right time is in 2023.

The next time we have a southern president, he should be igbo.

You are very funny, so it’s PDP that has not failed?

And your solution is to pitch with the looting gang? Buhari will be reelected next year. The question is are you part of it or not?

Election is a game of numbers and interests, Ndigbo should align were their interests have the better chance.

Who says Atiku will not consider a second term as well. But after Buhari, Presidency is coming South.

Can a blind man lead another to light

The answer is NO!

Buhari is a blind man, so he cannot lead Nigeria to light, its that simple!

Buhari = failed pretentious, brainless, corrupt, bias, tribalistic, nepotistic, terrorist sponsoring, hate-filled, certificate less, visionless blind man!

The time will NEVER come

THEY NEED BIAFRA NOT PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA. ABI THEY'VE CHANGED THEIR MIND?

Enough of this nonsense,
But afonjas are nursing 2023 presidency, under APC.

Dream on...

Igbos has no future in APC that classified them as third class citizens,
By the way, Yoruba's love and romance with APC is because of 2023.

We the Izon peoples stand gidigba with our IPOB brethren, come rain come shine.

Afonja and Almajiri should go take a plunge into our (Niger Delta) Creeks.

Well said sir,but they won't listen..That is why Biafra is the only way out of dis messed up country.
Will Igbo presidency bring port,embassies and massive development to the east?

And the present government is not looting abi? With NEMA scandal and Ikoyigate, you still have the gut to exonerate this government from looting abi? I just noticed you want to celebrate your shallowness of mind here.. Leave off my mention pls
