The family and children of Late Chief Sen Edwin Clark have distanced themselves from the so-called major tribute and prayer ceremony in Lagos on Thursday, May 1, 2025 (May Day) to celebrate the life, times and legacies of their patriach.

Clark’s family and children in a statement by Prof College Clark and Mr Penawe Clark, urged former Head of states, General (Dr) Yakubu Gowon and President Olusegun Obasanjo; Leader of the Patriots and former Secretary- General, Common Wealth of Nations, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, Ambassador Godknows Igali and Acting Leader of Afenifere, Oba Oladipo Olaitan not to attend.

“We the family and children of the late Nationalist and Elder statesman, Chief Sen Edwin Clark has noticed with rude shock of the publication of the event for tribute and payer to celebrate the life and times of our partriach, tomorrow on may 1st 2025 in lagos without the awareness of the family and children.

“This is not only bad but satanic. The most shocking aspect of the publication is the listing of some of the persons who were close to our patriach as part of the event. The question which now rings bell in our mind is, what do these organizers look for? Is it money, or what is intoxicating them in Bisola?

“We hereby call on all true lovers, friends, and well wishers of our Late Father to desist from attending this socalled event as the family and children were never consulted. In fact, our Father divorced Dr Bisola as a wife and sent to her in Lagos, any of her properties, which was in his house at Abuja. This happened long before our father passed on. The reasons for her divorce were so clear that no reasonable man could tolerate. In short, our father warned all of us never to have anything to do with Dr Bisola. That anybody found relating with her shall be sanctioned.

“At death, Dr Bisola can not claim to love the man she abandoned and never cared about whether he existed and whom she didn’t regard as a husband. If this event is not targeted for self-benefit, why on earth should such an event be organised without the knowledge of the family and children?

“Conclusively, we call on all associates and followers of our father including General Ike Nwachuckwu, Obong Victor Attah, Dr Kalu Idika Kalu, Sir (Dr) Kensington Adebutu, Chief (Mrs) Nike Akande, Chief (Mrs) Maiden Ibru, Chief Goodie Ibru, Chief Wale Babalakin, Governors of the six Southwest States, Key Traditional Rulers in the Southwest and prominent Niger Delta Leaders and Groups in Southwest, among others as listed in the publication for this event not to attend this event as it is also counter-productive and against the soul of our father. It is also insulting to the entire family of Late Chief Clark. It is never meant to honour our late father. The general activities have been fully published by the family,” said the statement.
