Clark Reacts To Atiku’s Emergence As PDP Presidential Candidate

Chief Edwin Clark, the leader of Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) has reacted to Atiku’s emergence as PDP presidential candidate, calling for the resignation of the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, accusing him of electoral abnormality and tragic betrayal of patriotism.

In a statement he personally signed, yesterday, Clark decried outrageous financial inducement of delegates and the dollarisation of the electoral process, warning that it portends danger to the outcome of the 2023 general elections.

He said: “One can now appreciate the reasons given by Mr. Peter Obi for his withdrawal from the PDP, both as a member, and as an aspirant, few days before the party’s primary. And I would think that what he did was, without doubt, in respect, or obedience, to the position of the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders’ Forum.

“Unfortunately, some aspirants from the south believed that, with the resources and facilities at their disposal, their elders no longer matter, and disregarded, with impunity, the patriotic advice on the need to be steadfast on the position of zoning of the presidency to the south.

“They never minded that what we have been advocating was in their interest. They proved themselves to be selfish and arrogant, and thought they could win on their own steam. They failed; I can only hope that they have, now, learned their lessons.”
