Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, and some ace Nigerian musicians, have condoled with Ibrahim Balogun, aka Wizkid, over the demise of his mother.
The Nigerian musicians are David Adeleke aka Davido and Olamide Adedeji.
The death of Wizkid’s mother, Jane Dolapo Balogun, was confirmed by Sunday Are, his longtime manager.
Are on Friday, August 18, said: “Yes, she died this morning, at about 1.30 am.”
Obi, via Twitter on Saturday, August 19, prayed to God to grant Wizkid and his family the fortitude to bear the loss.
“On behalf of the OBIdient family, I sincerely commiserate with Mr Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, (Wizkid), who reportedly lost his beloved mother. The death of a loved one is a very painful experience, more so a beloved mother,” Obi said.
“Dear Wizkid, may God Almighty who called her home grant her eternal rest in His kingdom and grant you and your family the fortitude to bear her irreplaceable loss. God bless you always.”
