Chief Dr E k Clark has revealed the owners and directors of Genuine  Construction  Engineering   Ltd to puncture the spuroius allegation leveled upon the elderstateman by some mischievous characters Who are bent on dragging his good name to the moud


Chief Clark in a Press Statenent  stated: 

 " I have just read the mischievous, false and ludicrous allegation made against me, Sen. Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, in the various media, particularly the social media, which was brought to my attention, that I own, or I am associated with a certain company named Genuine Construction Engineering Ltd, which was awarded a contract for shoreline protection project, which was captured in the Budget of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), in 2010, amounting to the sum of N7,973,336,024.75, and situated at Ogbolomabiri Community in the Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, and that 90% of the contract sum was released to me."


 The Elderstateman emphasized :   "These malicious, wicked and fabricated allegations are not true. We have been down this road before. These same jobbers who are hired to lie against me, a 94-year-old man, had earlier, about a year ago, spread these false rumours to tarnish my reputation, but their lies fell flat on their faces. At that time, I promptly refuted their allegations against me on the 7th and 8th of August, 2020, through my Lawyer, Barrister Olukayode (Dr.) Ajulo. His rebuttal was advertised in the Vanguard Newspaper of 9th August, 2020."  


 Speaking further he remarked : " I am presently in the United Kingdom, from where my attention was drawn to this fabricated, cruel and malicious publication of what I will now like to describe as a yearly ritual for those who are afraid of me, and of course their cohorts, commentators and warped, jobless and ignorant politicians, who have promptly made several comments in favour of an untrue story, believing that they can browbeat me, or stop me from making public statements on national issues, particularly on the mandatory need to restructure Nigeria, either in my position as elder statesman; Chairman, Southern/Middlebelt Leaders’ Forum and as Leader of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF)."



He  declared:    "Shame upon  these  traducers, because they have failed woefully and will continue to fail. Whom God has blessed; no man can curse. No human being created by God either in Nigeria or anywhere else in the world, can or will succeed in blackmailing me to submission. It is not a boast, it is a humble appreciation of God’s mercies and blessings which have been bestowed upon me."


 According to him, he  deliberately did not instructLawyer to name the owners and Directors of the said Genuine Construction Engineering Ltd, when the allegations were first made last year, because the information is there in public domain as provided by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), and at the NDDC Office which knows to whom it awarded the contract. I expected these cruel and intellectually lazy commentators and politicians, to have done their research before putting their mouth, or should I say their fingers, make comments and type on a matter they know nothing about.



  Chief Clark also wondered why the ,the owners and Directors of the said company,  decided, for reasons best known to them, to remain silent said : 

  "I have, therefore, decided, after intensive investigation, to disclose the ownership of the said Genuine Construction Engineering Ltd, and the particulars of its directors.

The principal Shareholder/Directors of Genuine Construction Engineering Ltd which was incorporated in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, with Registration Number 665917, registered on 6th September, 2006, with its registered office address as Plot 11, Bodo Street, GRA Phase II, Port Harcourt, has Pelfaco Ltd, Gesi Asamaowei and Brenda Asamaowei as owners, Directors and key management personnel. Pelfaco Ltd was also incorporated in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, with Registration Number 119511. It was registered on 26th October, 1988, with its office address as 7, Afam Street, Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Its Shareholders, Directors and key management personnel are Mr. Ebigesiye Pele A., Pele E. Afa and Gesi Asamaowei.

I want to once again, categorically state that as follows:

1. I do not have any foreshore protection contract at Ogbolomabiri in Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

2. I do not have any connections or association, whatsoever, with the said company, Genuine Construction Engineering Ltd.

3. I wish to reassure my family, friends, associates and fellow compatriots, who believe and trust me, that I am completely innocent of all these accusations linking me with the said company, Genuine Construction Engineering Ltd.

I issue this notice as a final warning and advice to the purveyors of these fake news, to desist from maligning and tarnishing my name. This warning also goes to those who make unfounded comments in support of lies thrown against innocent persons without bothering to find out the truth. It will be recalled that such warning was contained in the public notice issued last year by my Lawyer when this same malicious, mischievous and unfounded allegation was made against me, as reflected by the said publication reproduced hereunder:

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
