Elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, has endorsed the candidacy of 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 Obi, who is the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party on traits he believes are critical to leading the country.
He cited honesty, trust and transparency, all of which he said Obi displayed when he was governor of Anambra State.
Clark called on Obi to tackle the issues of the injustices and environmental degradation in the Niger Delta region if elected as President.
The Ijaw leader’s backing is the second high-profile endorsement to be received by Mr Obi in three days after former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, endorsed Mr Obi for President on Sunday.
