The Pan Niger Delta Forum has mourned the passing of its leader, Edwin Clark who died on Monday, February 17, 2025.
Describing the late PANDEF’s leader as a towering figure in Nigeria, the forum said Clark died a peaceful death in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city.
He was also surrounded by his family members and loved ones.
In a statement signed by Obiuwevbi Ominimini, PANDEF’s spokesperson, the late Clark’s contribution and service to humanity and various communities spans over 75 years.
Ominimini said, “Pa Clark was indeed a towering figure in Nigeria, known for his tireless advocacy for justice and human rights.”
He also said that throughout his time on earth, Clark advocated tirelessly for justice, equal and human rights and a more compassionate society.
Having founded PANDEF and co-led the South and Middle Belt Leaders Forum, Ominimini said Clark’s brilliant mind would continue to serve as an inspiration to future generations.
Commiserating with his family, PANDEF noted that its members take solace from the word of God in Acts 13:36 which states that, “After he had served the purpose of God in his generation, he fell asleep and was allowed to rest.”
