President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the passing of
gospel music star, Sammie Okposo.
A statement by spokesperson, Femi Adesina, said the Nigerian
leader commiserates with the family, friends and fans.
Buhari extended his condolences to Okposo’s colleagues in
the industry and the younger generation.
The President noted the deceased was admired for “his
elevating style of praise and worship”.
He hailed Okopos’s creative contributions to Nollywood, “and
the inspiring role he played in grooming talents and mentoring them”.
Buhari prayed for the repose of his soul and urged the
family to find solace in his investments of love.
The 51-year-old musician passed away on Friday at an
undisclosed hospital in Lagos.
Okposo, who resides in an estate on the island, was rushed
for treatment after he slumped.
It was gathered that the producer battled hypertension/high
blood pressure (HBP).
The late multiple-award winner was the Chief Executive
Officer of Zamar Entertainment.
