Governor of Enugu State , Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, has expressed “rude shock” after receiving the news of the passing of “revered statesman”, Chief Edwin Clark.
Mbah said, “he fought for democracy, good governance, and fiscal federalism until he breathed his last.”
In his condolence, Governor Mbah wrote: “I received with rude shock the passing of the revered statesman, Chief Edwin Clark.
He was one man whom you were never in doubt of where he stood on any national issue. He was a courageous leader and was not just bold and vocal, but also he was principled in his advocacy. He was a conscience of the nation, voice of reason, social crusader, champion of equity and justice, and an unpretentious federalist. He fought for democracy, good governance, and fiscal federalism until he breathed his last.
This is, therefore, a grave loss, not only to his immediate family, Delta State, and the Niger Delta, but also to the nation as a whole.
We pray to the Almighty God for the peaceful repose of his soul.”
