Edwin Clark’s endorsement of Peter Obi will affect Atiku, not Tinubu — Festus Keyamo
The spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, has spoken on the endorsement of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, by former Federal Commissioner for Information, Edwin Clark.
As earlier reported by The Informant247, Clark declared open support for Obi on Tuesday, January 3, 2023.
He made this revelation while speaking to newsmen at his Asokoro Residence in Abuja today, January 3rd, 2023.
He said he has the belief that Obi will unite and restructure the country, if he becomes the president.
Keyamo has through his Twitter handle, revealed that the endorsement would not affect the ruling APC as the South-South leader has never backed APC for the presidential position since 2015.
He added that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar will be affected because it will reduce his 2019 votes in favour of Peter Obi.
Keyamo wrote: “Same thing I said for OBJ that applies to my respected father, Edwin Clark. These are elders who endorsed Atiku Abubakar in 2019. The votes they gave Atiku in 2019, they have carried those votes to Obi. My father, Edwin Clark HAS NEVER SUPPORTED APC for the Presidency since 2015.”
