Gowon, Jonathan, Obi, others grace Clark’s public presentation of autobiography, ‘Brutally Frank’
Dignitaries, including former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the February 25, 2023 election, Mr. Peter Obi, and LP’s National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure were among dignitaries that graced the public presentation of the autobiography of Elder Statesman, Chief Dr Senator Edwin Kaigbodo Clark.
The autobiography of the 96 year-old Delta State-born nationalist, Ijaw and Niger Delta leader, is titled “Brutally Frank.”
Mr. Obi, in a tweet, said of the event: “The eclectic list of guests and the mammoth crowd present reflect the high esteem in which Nigerians hold Chief Clark,” stressing “I am confident that his autobiography will fully reflect his candour, patriotism, and commitment to nation-building, in which his role is far beyond a footnote.”
Obi said further that Chief Clark, the outspoken former Minister, “has set an example for other eminent Nigerians to follow in recording what transpired in their private and public services to Nigeria.”
Most importantly, the former Anambra State Governor noted, given Chief Clark’s long history of service to the nation, the autobiography “will no doubt serve as an invaluable sourcebook in national history to younger generations.”
He, thereafter, congratulated the Southern and Middle Belt Forum leader “for his gift of experience and courageous leadership over the years.”
