The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the late leader of PANDEF, Pa Edwin Clark as the leader of socio-economic emancipation.
APC stated this in a statement issued yesterday by the National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, consoling the family. Morka said:
“The All Progressives Congress (APC) expresses sadness over the passing of ace politician and elder-statesman, Pa Edwin Kiagbodo Clark (CON), who, until his death, was the leader of Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF).
“A cerebral activist and patriot, the late Pa Edwin Clark was a leading advocate for the socio-economic emancipation and respect for human environmental rights of the people of South-South, especially the oil-rich Niger Delta region.
“The vocal Ijaw leader served as Commissioner for Education in the MidWestern Region from 1968 to 1971 before becoming a Commissioner for Finance and Establishment in the defunct Bendel State in 1972.
