Leader of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Edwin Clark says he was considering supporting the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the south to get the presidency.
Clark said this on Tuesday when some members of the APC paid him a courtesy visit at his residence in Abuja.
Clark said if he was to vote and only APC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are on the ballot, he would have voted for the APC.
He, however, said that was no longer an option as APC is fielding two Muslims on its ticket for the 2023 presidential election.
“We have seen that up till today, we still believe in the southern presidency. So, that is why some of us had said that APC that we never wanted to talk about is the one that has listened to us by zoning presidency to the south,” Clark said.
“Of course, I’m an old man now. I will be 95, and I no longer belong to a political party. Perhaps, if I were to vote, and you put only two parties —that is APC and PDP — I will vote for APC for zoning the presidency to the south, listening to our opinion.
“But the only thing that your party has done that has made me withdraw my support is this Muslim-Muslim ticket.”
