Foremost Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark has stated that President Goodluck jonathan has the support of the core north ahead of the 2015 elections.
The elder statesman said that Jonathan was entitled to a second term constitutionally and that those fighting the President were actually fighting God’s will.
Clark made the statement during a courtesy visit of the FCT chapter of South South community leaders to his residence.
He said, “Any person fighting Jonathan is fighting God. Whatever God says you will be, that is what you will be and whoever wants to remove him (Jonathan) God will fight him. By the grace of God, Jonathan became the acting President and later President. What is yours, nobody can take it from you.
“Some people say that they must rule and if Jonathan runs (for another term) there will be bloodshed. Majority of the northerners believe in Jonathan and want him to continue.”
He said Yoruba’s had no leaders since Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Adekunle Ajasin died, adding that Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu was only wasting his time calling himself a Yoruba leader.
