It was jointly issued by Professor College Clark of the Clark-Fuludu-Bakederemo family in Kiagbodo, Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State, and Ambassador Dr. Godknows Igali, OON, PANDEF’s National Chairman.

Describing his passing as the fall of a “mighty Iroko tree,” the statement reflected on Chief Clark’s immense contributions to public service, politics, and community development over the past 75 years.

A distinguished lawyer, activist, and politician, Chief Edwin Clark was a prominent figure in the South-South region and a strong advocate for the Ijaw ethnic nationality.

As the founder of PANDEF and a co-leader of the South and Middle Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF), he championed justice, equality, and human rights throughout his lifetime.

Renowned for his fearless defense of marginalized communities, Chief Clark dedicated his life to creating a more just and equitable society.

His impact extended beyond politics into education and legal advocacy, where he played a role in establishing multiple educational institutions.

“Pa Clark was indeed a towering figure in Nigeria, known for his tireless advocacy for justice and human rights,” the statement read. “His brilliant mind and generous spirit will continue to inspire future generations to strive for a more just and compassionate society.”

“After he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, he fell asleep and was allowed to rest.”
