One Year Gone, And Your Presence Is Still Mighty: PANDEF’S Tribute To Sen. Chief Dr. EK Clark, One Year After -

By Freeborn Abraye

Today, we specially remember with fondest memories our father, leader, national icon and statesman, Chief EK Clark, OFR, CON. One year its like just yesterday. After 98 years of labour and devotion to building our nation Nigeria to where truth, justice, fairness and harmony reigns, you departed with those final words “I am a Nigeria, I love Nigeria “.

But more, your toil for the unity, solidarity, national relevance of the Niger Delta, yes the entire South-South geopolitical zone will for endless generations be celebrated and adulated.

A game changer you were, your memory and voice remained firm, astute and unfailingly till the torch-line. Like a lion, your courage was unmatched and resonated large and wide.

Thank God, your vision on all fronts remains aglow and the zeal shall certaindly not flounder.

Even as we remember you in Special Memoraial Service at your EDWIN CLARK UNIVERSITY, KIAGBODO, today rest on dear daddy, “Gogorogo”

Ambassador Dr Godknows igali,
National Chairman
