President Muhammadu Buhari has sympathised with family, friends and professional associates of renowned gospel singer, Sammie Okposo, whose death yesterday left many in Nigeria and across the world shocked.

President Buhari in a statement by his media aide, Femi Adesina, commiserated with the Christian community, particularly Okposo’s colleagues in gospel music and the younger generation who had over the years identified with his elevating style of praise and worship.

The president noted the unique platform of worship created by Okposo, Okposo Praise Party, his creative contributions to the Nigerian film industry, Nollywood and the inspiring role he played in grooming talents and mentoring them to stardom.
