Subject: Establishment of “High Chief (Dr.) Sen. Pa Edwin Kiagbodo Clark Remembrance Day” on 17th February
Dear State Chapter Chairmen,
It is with profound respect and an unwavering commitment to preserving the legacies of our forebears that I, Chief Diplomat, Amb. Adam E. O. O. Marbo, the National President of this esteemed organization, issue this solemn and transformative directive. With immediate effect, every 17th of February shall be commemorated as “High Chief (Dr.) Sen. Pa Edwin Kiagbodo Clark Remembrance Day” across all states under our umbrella, beginning from today, 24th February, 2024.
High Chief (Dr.) Sen. Pa Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, an indomitable titan of justice, integrity, and selflessness, has, through his relentless advocacy, immeasurably enriched the fabric of our great nation. His invaluable contributions to the development of the Niger Delta, his fearless pursuit of equity for marginalized communities, and his unyielding advocacy for peace and unity have left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness.
As a true statesman, Pa Clark embodies the quintessential spirit of resilience, patriotism, and sacrifice. It is therefore incumbent upon us—his beneficiaries—to perpetuate his legacy in a manner befitting his stature.
In light of this, I direct that the 17th of February each year shall be a solemn occasion for reflection, a day to pay homage to the life, work, and enduring influence of this paragon of virtue. Let it serve as a beacon for all present and future generations to draw inspiration from his storied life. May it stir the flames of purpose and dedication in the hearts of those who will carry forward the noble cause of justice and equity.
Let the words of High Chief (Dr.) Sen. Pa Edwin Kiagbodo Clark guide us always:
“The future belongs to those who dare to dream, to those who stand unwavering in the face of adversity.”
The following activities shall be observed as part of this remembrance:
1) State-Wide Reflections and Symposiums:
Each state chapter shall organize a symposium or panel discussion where key speakers, particularly individuals who have been deeply influenced by Pa Clark’s life and contributions, will reflect on his legacy. These symposiums should address critical issues such as social justice, regional development, and the empowerment of the marginalized.
2) Community Engagements and Charitable Endeavors:
In the spirit of Pa Clark’s selflessness, every state chapter is encouraged to carry out community service initiatives on this day, aimed at alleviating the struggles of the less privileged. Whether through donations, volunteer work, or advocacy, let us continue to extend Pa Clark’s legacy of service to the vulnerable.
3) Public Ceremonies:
A formal ceremony should be held in each state, with invited dignitaries, members of the press, and the public, to honor Pa Clark’s contributions. State chapters should ensure that all activities are well-publicized to foster greater awareness of his legacy.
As leaders, we must cultivate the spirit of unity, resolve, and unwavering purpose that Pa Clark epitomized. His life was a testament to the fact that the struggle for justice is not a solitary endeavor but a collective responsibility. Each of us must rise to the occasion and make every 17th of February a celebration of our collective resilience and unwavering dedication to the advancement of equity, peace, and prosperity.
In closing, I urge you all to actively collaborate with one another and ensure that these activities are carried out in a manner that reflects the true essence of Pa Clark’s ideals. Let this day be a reminder that we are all bound together by the noble cause of justice, that we may be the voices of the voiceless, just as Pa Clark was for so many.
“It is not how long we live, but how we live that truly matters.” – High Chief (Dr.) Sen. Pa Edwin Kiagbodo Clark
May his spirit guide us, inspire us, and propel us toward the realization of a better, more just world for all.
