keyamo Obi endorse Clark

Festus Keyamo has sharply but humbly rejected the endorsement of Peter Obi by South-South leader, Chief Edwin Clark for the 2023 presidential election saying that the endorsement by the man he dignified as a father would amount to nothing.

Keyamo who is Urhobo from Delta State, however, approached his disagreement with Chief Clark with humility saying that he disagreed with his ‘father,’ Clark on the issue.

GWG.ng reports that Clark who is Ijaw, however, has Urhobo roots and reputation across the South-South region.

Rejecting the endorsement of Peter Obi by Clark, Keyamo who is also the spokesman of the APC presidential campaign council said:

“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.”

The dignified response from Keyamo to the endorsement of Obi by Clark was generating some measure of admiration for the APC campaign spokesman on twitter Tuesday afternoon.

GWG.ng gathered some of the reactions.

At least you didn’t say anything bad about our father, leader, I like you, you are good but trying to sell a bad product to ensure food does not leave your mouth. But you are in the wrong side of history here.

@ least his endorsement make a bit of sense in that he narrowed it down to ethnic considerations and the sense of inclusion and fairness. The only problem is that of him not taking into consideration the issue of competence and other factors.

First time this guy’s is acting the way our politicians is suppose to act. Just respect thier endorsement and don’t insult dem. Even I as a personhave failed atimes with all of these back and forth insult flying up and down.. we move Obidatti ways.

They both endorsed Atiku in 2019 because Obi was his running mate that’s just it. On a normal Pa.Obasanjo will never endorse Atiku and you know this too well.
