While mourning the deceased, the deputy governor of Borno State, Umar Kadafur, described Clark’s death as a huge loss to his family, the people of Southern Borno, and the state at large.

Kadafur described the lawmaker-elect’s death as a great loss to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in view of his outstanding contributions to the growth and development of the state.

He, however, commiserated with the family of the late politician, and prayed to God to give the family the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.

Clark was a former Commissioner for Poverty Alleviation before resigning on April 25, 2022, to contest the Chibok State Constituency election on the platform of the APC.
