Elder Statesman, and Leader of the Pan Niger-Delta Forum, PANDEF, Chief E. K. Clark, has reacted sadly to the announcement of the death, last night, of Hajia Hadiza, wife of of the late Nigerian Leader, President Shehu Aliyu Shagari.
Chief Clark, in the United Kingdom, expresses the death as a great shock, describing it as, “very sad!”
He recalls the late First Lady, as a quiet and humble wife, but exuberant and energetic in her support for her husband, at every stage of his steady ascendancy to the summit of the National political ladder.
The Father of the Ijaw Nation, South-South and Southern and Middle Belt coalition, recalls his close association with Alhaji Shehu Shagari, dating back to their membership of the Cabinet of General Yakubu Gowon, and, later, as a frontline Member of the National Party of Nigeria, NPN, Countrywide Presidential Campaign Team of the 1979 Election.
He, therefore, considers her demise as a personal loss to him, also, as a close friend of the Shagari family, whose son, recently active in politics, has been his son also, wishing the family, and, indeed, the entire Country, the strength to bear the loss.
