The statement read in part: “On this day, I join millions of lover of his rege music to mourn a very distinguished man, who made Nigeria music industry proud
”Though he is no more today, we find solace in the fact that he lived a life worthy of emulation may God grant the good people of Osun State and the family the fortitude to bear the loss and well to grant him Peaceful Rest”.
