President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with family, friends and associates of legendary musician and multi-talented artiste, Sir Victor Uwaifo, who passed on Saturday, leaving a legacy of successes in many areas of life, including academia and administration.

According to a statement by Presidential Media Aide, Femi Adesina, the President joins the Nigerian music industry and performing artistes, home and abroad, in mourning the former first Honourable Commissioner for Arts, Culture and Tourism (Edo State), who was also the first musician and instrumentalist to be given National Honours Merit, Member of the Order of the Niger (MON) in 1983.

President Buhari believes the renowned musician, with global appeal and recognitions, lived for many firsts, which include invitation to the State House by four presidents and Heads of State, and winner of a gold disc in Africa for his song, “Joromi’’, released in 1965 at the age of 24.

The President notes the glory that Sir Uwaifo brought to Nigeria through his international tours, and the active role he played in national development, returning to school to get a first degree at age 54 with first class honours, masters degree at 56, and a doctorate at 77.

President Buhari prays for the soul of the departed musician, writer, sculptor, musical instrument inventor and university lecturer, knowing the entire country, particularly the music industry, will sorely miss him.

Good he is mourning the veteran musician however, what is he doing to the incessant killings in the country?

Is Daddy Bubu no longer shocked again??

As if he knows that Uwaifo is dead.

Buhari is the worst thing to happen to Nigeria.

His sweet memory lives on....

His artistic collections are good materials for literature and musical research.

Such a great talent worth mourning and celebrating.

RIP

I'm ashamed to support this Baba .May God deliver us from MuhamMADu and his Afganistans pipu .Spit

It's a great achievement to live up to 80yrs with the current state of the nation.

There is no mourning in buhari heart. Can a bandit mourn because of one man.

Is either he express shock or he is mourning..

Yeye president
