Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has extended condolences to the Clark-Fuludu Bekederemo family of Kiagbodo Town in Delta State over the passing away of their father, Chief Edwin Clark at 97 years.
Governor Fubara said the tragic news of the death of Chief Edwin Clark, made public on behalf of the family by Prof. C. C. Clark, is rather heart-wrenching, given the impact of such a loss.
Governor Fubara noted that Chief Edwin Clark, as a courageous Ijaw leader, nationalist and freedom fighter, demonstrated exceptional leadership and commitment to the unity of Nigeria and boldly defended the rights of the minorities, especially Niger Deltans.
He said the late Chief Edwin Clark has left indelible footprints as a nationalist for the inspiring roles he played in the Middle-Belt Leaders Forum, MBLF and as leader of Pan-Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF.
