President Bola Tinubu has extended his condolences to the family, friends, and fans of renowned musician and folklorist, Mike Ejeagha, who passed away on Friday at the age of 95.
Tinubu, according to Mr Bayo Onanuga, his spokesman, in a statement said that Ejeagha used his music and distinctive storytelling style to preserve and project Igbo culture and customs, inspiring generations.
“May the spirit and values of Gentleman Mike Ejeagha’s music continue to remind us that music has the power to revive, heal and redirect energy towards worthy causes that help build our nation,” Tinubu said.
The president commended the Enugu State Government led by Gov. Peter Mbah for honouring the music icon while still alive.
Tinubu prayed to God to grant the soul of the departed eternal rest and comfort to all who mourned him.
