Also, the leader of the opposition Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi and other Nigerians have mourned the passing of the singer.

Ms. Onwenu was a singer, songwriter, actor, journalist, activist, and politician.
President Tinubu, in a statement by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, mourned the passing of the Queen of Songs, whose edifying and mellifluous rendition, ‘One Love’, in the 1990s evoked a fervour of fellowship and harmony.

The president recalled the many artistic interventions of the late musical icon in promoting public good, noting her classic collaboration with King Sunny Ade on ‘Wait for Me’, a melodic campaign on family planning in the 1980s.

President Tinubu celebrated the life of the versatile and highly gifted artiste who applied herself to the whole gamut of artistic enterprise and expression, bringing joy and laughter to many.
