Elder stateman and Ijaw leader Chief Edwin Clark, has denied reports that he went into coma after President Goodluck Jonathan was defeated in the 28 March Presidential election.
Clark, who left the country last night for London, spoke with journalists in Abuja, described the report as false in its entirety.
“I am here today to tell you that I am not dead. Or am I dead? In every election, there would be winners and losers. The same thing happened during the last presidential election.
“I am alive. Today, I won’t talk about what happened before, during and after the election. That will come another day.
“I am talking to you now because I am travelling tomorrow and some people will go into the streets and say I was carried into air ambulance.
“President Jonathan that contested election had congratulated the winner and the whole world acclaimed him for conceding defeat.
“Jonathan was the one who contested election, I didn’t. So, why should I die”, the prominent Ijaw leader who also adopted Jonathan as his son said.
