Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general election, has stated that the late iconic singer, Onyeka Onwenu, remained a national treasure who believed in a more united and progressive Nigeria.
Mr. Obi stated this on his X handle on Friday, when he joined family, friends, and other mourners to pay his last respect to the late veteran actor, who was laid to rest in Lagos State.
He said, “I still recall, with pain, her final moments before she took the final bow on 30th July, all of which I completely witnessed.
“In her last performance on stage before the tragic incident that fateful day, she sang her popular song, “One Love Keeps Us Together,” and this bears significant testament to her belief while she lived here on earth.
“Once again, I would like to extend my condolences to her children, family, friends, loved ones, and all of us during this difficult time.
“May we all find the strength and courage to bear her sad irreplaceable loss. May God grant her eternal rest, protect, and bless her family always,” Obi wrote on his X handle.
