In a very sad mood, President Bola Tinubu has received the news of the passing of Nigeria's creative icon, Mr. Jimi Solanke.
Baba Solanke, who died on Monday, was an actor, dramatist, folk singer, poet, and playwright.
President Tinubu, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, mourned the "literary and cultural virtuoso and describes him as one of the finest of Nigeria's creative artists and bastion of our cherished mores and cultural heritage."
He also condoled with the Solanke family and all those who mourn the painful loss.
The President prayed for the peaceful repose of the beloved departed.
