Governor Sanwo-Olu sends condolences to Sound Sultan’s family and the Nigerian Music Industry

July 12,2021
Share:

On the passing of renowned musician Sound Sultan, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has expressed his sincere condolences to the Fasasi family and the Nigerian entertainment industry.

Governor Sanwo-Olu expressed shock at the singer’s death in a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, on Monday, July 12. He said Fasasi’s death was sad and a tremendous loss to the departed family, the Nigerian music business, and the country as a whole.

The Governor asked Sound Sultan’s family, friends, associates, fans, and entertainment industry professionals to view his death as an act of God.

He said: “Sound Sultan’s death is painful. He was a bundle of talents, who used his God-given gift to advance the course of mankind. His music, artistry and interest in sports were all donated at every point for the development of humanity.”

Sanwo-Olu added that: “No doubt the death of a loved one is usually painful because it is irreparable but we must always take solace in God especially if the deceased had lived a good and fulfilled life, just like the late Olanrewaju Fasasi, who was a celebrated singer, comedian, rapper, songwriter and actor during his lifetime.

“Sound Sultan will be sorely missed by his family, friends, fans and the Nigerian entertainment industry as one of the pacesetters of modern hip hop music in Nigeria.

“Sound Sultan who was notable for using his music to speak against poverty, corruption, bad governance and societal ills in Nigeria, has left a vacuum that would take some time to be filled”.

“I sympathise with Sound Sultan’s widow, children, siblings, family, fans and colleagues. I pray that God will grant the late Olanrewaju Fasasi eternal rest and grant the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
