As I said....this is very controversial. Some opinion goes one way, others go the other. If you wish to review this opinion just put this phrase exactly as I have written it into the Google search engine:
"It is I who" esl
You will find a lot of discussion about the use of this construction and you can make up your own mind.
If I was teaching this construction, I would find out the acceptable form for your examination. I would teach that form and explain the controversy. THEN I would show the better alternative that I have shown earlier which is a better construction and has no controversy.
