President Bola Tinubu has extended his heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and many fans of Mike Ejeagha, one of Nigeria’s greatest folklorists, songwriters, and musicians in the Igbo language, and exponent of “Gwo Gwo Gwo”, who passed on to eternity on Friday at 95.
Tinubu noted that Ejeagha used his music and distinctive storytelling style to preserve and project Igbo culture and customs, inspiring generations.
In a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Saturday, Tinubu said: “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.”
