By Henry Umoru & Anayo Okoli
AHEAD of 2023 general and presidential elections, former Federal Commissioner for Information and South-South Leader, Chief Edwin Clark has said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor should come from the South-East geo- Political zone of the country.
Clark’s call enjoyed the backing of President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Professor George Obiozor, who restated the call for the Igbo to produce the president in 2023.
Clark, however, stressed that the Igbo should be from the South-East and urged Igbo-speaking people from Delta and Rivers states not to aspire for the exalted position but should all back the South-East to achieve it in 2023.

IN the past few weeks, a group of people from Owerri zone have continued to make embarrassing statements not only to Owerri zone but to the two other zones of Orlu and Okigwe. There is a saying in Igbo land “Okenye anayi ano na ulo eghu amuoo na obu.” As a proud and patriotic son of Igbo land, whose achievements and contributions towards the development of the land, Nigeria and humanity is widely acknowledged. As the Ahaejiagamba of Igbo land, a title conferred on me by the seven states of Igbo land Imo, Abia, Rivers, Ebonyi, Enugu, Delta and Anambra. As the chairman of Council of Elders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide and as a patriot who has been honoured by Imo people as Grand Commander of Imo State, an honour which enlists my name in the Hall of Fame of Imo State, I am constrained to make the following comments.
