Edwin Clark reveals that there may be no Nigeria without zoning

Edwin Clark, Ijaw leader and politician from Delta State and the leader of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, has insisted that the next Nigerian president must be from the South-East of the country.

He revealed that there may be no Nigeria without zoning in 2023 and lamented that southerners are treated as second-class citizens in the country.

He said, “My idea of zoning the Presidency to the South-East is well-known. No Nigerian will like to live in a country where certain people believe that they have the only right to lead.

“The APC believes the 12 million votes by President Muhammadu Buhari might be eroded if it is zoned to the South. The PDP is also considering zoning to the North. This is unfair.

“Nigeria stood on three legs, and it has never been steady since one of the legs was destroyed during the Civil War. If zoning which will heal the wounds is not done, there will be no Nigeria. Nobody will remain in this country as a second class citizen.

“The North believes their population can be used to oppress other Nigerians. This is not acceptable. The era of that has gone. There are many good Northerners but the Fulani-oriented ones want to dominate everywhere.”
