Dr. Ken Robinson wrote: “The passing of Chief Dr. Senator Edwin Kiagbodo Clark is a monumental loss for the Ijaw nation, the Niger Delta region, and the Nigerian state”.

For some of us, we have lost a great leader and beloved father. I had the privilege of working closely with Chief Edwin Clark for about ten years, and I can affirm without any equivocation that he was an exceptional man.

He was a man of truth, someone who expressed his views candidly on any subject without fear or favour. He championed the cause of the Niger Delta and served as an unmistakable voice for fairness, equity, and justice. His passing has created a significant void.

All we can say is that he came, he saw, and he conquered. He fulfilled his role admirably and left the stage at the remarkable age of 97″.

May his soul rest in peace”. The statement reads.
