Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has commended the former Federal Commissioner of Information and elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark for his unwavering patriotism and relentless pursuit of the unity of Nigeria.
He said that Clark, who will celebrate his 90th birthday tomorrow, May 25th, is well known for his maturity in speaking for the good of all Nigerians, promoting the South-South quest for a new developmental vision and supporting the cause of the poor and vulnerable.
The Acting President extolled the personal sacrifices and diplomatic shuttles of the great Nigerian leader, who worked relentlessly for the birth and sustenance of ECOWAS even as he assured the nonagenarian that his labour of love for the South-South and the progress of the country will be remembered by many generations to come.
Professor Osinbajo commemorated the milestone in the life of Chief Clark whom he described as nationalist, “whose life reflects our collective and continuous efforts towards building a great nation.” [myad]
