Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has come out to mourn late singer, Sound Sultan.

He recently revealed this via a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile.

According to him, Sound Sultan’s demise is painful and a great loss to his family, the Nigerian music industry, and Nigeria as a whole.

He added that the deceased family, friends, associates, fans and entertainment practitioners should take the death of Sound Sultan as an act of God.

His words, “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.”

“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.”
