Adding that, "though papa is gone, but his legacy lives on. He will be remembered by generations yet 
unborn through history, as a defender of democracy as well as a consistent voice in the pursuit of social justice and resource control for the Niger Delta.

"We in NRM will always remember Pa Clark not only as a father figure, but as a good example to emulate when it comes to passionately standing for truth and selflessly defending the oppressed. 

"May God forgive his shortcomings and grant his soul eternal rest. Amen!" he concludes
