Prominent leader of the APC in Delta State and Former Commissioner of Finance, Olorogun Bernard Okumagba has condoled with the Clark family of Kiagbodo and indeed the entire nation, on the passing of renowned Elderstatesman, Chief Edwin Clark at the age of 97.

In a press statement, Olorogun Okumagba stated that, “I am saddened to hear about the passing of our dearly beloved Chief Edwin Clark, a true Nigerian elderstatesman and icon. I offer my heartfelt condolences to his loved ones, our people in Delta State, the Niger Delta Region and the entire nation.” He stated further that, “Chief Clark’s life was a testament to his unwavering dedication to public service. Indeed, he spent over seven decades serving Nigeria in various capacities from the local to the Federal level as Councillor, State Commissioner for Education, Federal Commissioner (Minister) for Information and Senator. He was a member of various national conferences and spent his lifetime working with like minds to birth a Nigeria founded on equity and primed for development and growth.” Olorogun Okumagba described him as a man whose “commitment to the country’s growth and development was inspiring, and his legacy will continue to inspire future generations.”

According to Olorogun Okumagba, “as a respected leader of the Niger Delta region, Chief Clark worked tirelessly to promote peace, unity, and development in the region. His contributions to the establishment of the University of Benin and the founding of Edwin Clark University in 2015 are a testament to his passion for education and empowerment.”

He offered his deepest sympathies to his family, as follows: “May you find comfort in the knowledge that his life’s work has made a lasting impact on our nation. May his memory continue to inspire us all to carry on his legacy.”

Olorogun Okumagba also urged Nigerians to: “take a moment to reflect on Chief Clark’s remarkable life and service. Let us honour his memory by continuing to work towards a united, prosperous, and peaceful Nigeria.”
