Pa Clark's Contribution To Nation Building Enormous - Otuaro | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

The Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Dr Dennis Otuaro, has expressed deep sorrow over the death of elder statesman and foremost leader of the Ijaw nation, the Niger Delta and the South-South region, Edwin Kiagbodo Clark.

Otuaro described the demise of Pa Clark at the age of 97 on Monday, February 17, 2025, as announced by his immediate family, as a huge loss to Nigeria, the Ijaw nation, the Niger Delta and other minorities in the country.

In a statement via his Special Assistant on Media, Igoniko Oduma, Otuaro described Clark as a great patriot, nationalist, teacher, lawyer, administrator, and a towering figure in Nigerian politics who made immense contributions to the political development and unity of the country.

Otuaro said that Clark’s public service records spanning pre-colonial and post-colonial Nigeria were legendary and a manifestation of his unwavering commitment and dedication to nation building.

The PAP helmsman noted that Clark was a charismatic leader and mentor under whose tutelage prominent socio-political platforms like the Ijaw National Congress (INC), South South Peoples Assembly, Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), and the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders’ Forum (SMBLF) became strong leading voices for regional and national cohesion built on the principles of equity, fairness and justice.

He further stated that as a fearless Ijaw man, Clark was a tireless and consistent freedom fighter for minority rights and a powerful advocate for true federalism, resource control, environmental justice, economic development and better living condition for his people in the Niger Delta.

Otuaro said that as a growing young Ijaw man, he learnt and benefitted valuable life-lessons at the feet of the departed elder statesman, which had helped him a great deal in his life.

The PAP boss added that Clark’s sharp, magnetic memory and his ability to recall incidents that happened many years ago, even in his old age, stood him out as a reservoir of knowledge and wisdom.

He said he was profoundly saddened by the passing of a warrior-father and expressed his heartfelt condolences to the Clark’s family, the Ijaw nation, and indeed the people of the Niger Delta.

Otuaro prayed to God to grant the soul of Clark eternal rest and comfort his family.
