TUE FEB 18 2025-theGBJournal| Delta State Governor, Sherrif Oborevwori has issued a statement on the passing of prominent Ijaw leader, influential politician leader and philanthropist, Chief Edwin (EK) Clark following his passing late Monday.
Oborevwori, in the statement described Chief Clark’s exit as a personal loss.
He said the Nigerian patriot, and role model. Chief (Dr) Sen. Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, OFR, OON, was an icon whose influence traversed Nigeria’s political scene for six decades.
”Teacher, educator, public servant, and politician, Chief Clark was a model of integrity, consistency, fidelity to a cause, and patriotic fervour.
To the people of the Niger Delta region, he was their champion. Bold, outspoken, and fearless, he stood resolute in crusading for fairness, equity and justice for the region.
His exit is also a personal loss; he was a motivator, mentor, and father to me. I will miss his wisdom, counsel, and zest for life.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, and the people of Kiagbodo in Burutu LGA of Delta State, and the Ijaw nation over this monumental loss. We can all take solace in the saying that Chief Clark came, he saw, and he conquered.
May God grant his soul eternal repose.”
