Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has commiserated with the Uwaifo family, Bini kingdom and music buffs over the passing of legendary musician, Professor Victor Uwaifo.

The Governor in a statement on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Olisa Ifeajika also condoled with the Government and people of Edo State on the demise of the renowned musician, a native of Benin, who reportedly died on Saturday after a brief illness at the age of 80.

Senator Okowa expressed shock and sadness at the passing of Uwaifo, saying that he was a star whose demise was a huge loss to lovers of his genre of music.

He noted that the deceased contributed immensely to the entertainment industry and academia, excelling enviably in both.

According to the governor, Uwaifo was a unique personality who to the astonishment of many, effectively combined his music career and teaching at the high level, and rose to the pinnacle of both.

He remarked that the deceased was a great musician, writer, sculptor and inventor of musical instrument.

The governor stressed that the history of Nigeria’s hall of fame would not be complete without Victor Uwaifo’s name.

He recalled that in recognition of Uwaifo’s versatility, former governor of Edo, Chief Lucky Igbinedion, appointed him as commissioner in charge of Culture, Arts & Tourism between 2001 and 2003.

Okowa prayed that God should grant eternal rest to the soul of the departed Uwaifo and comfort his family and all who mourn him.
