President Bola Tinubu expressed profound grief on Sunday over the untimely demise of veteran Nollywood actors John Okafor, affectionately known as Mr Ibu, and Tolani Quadri Oyebamiji, popularly known as Sisi Quadri.
Describing them as artistic geniuses, Tinubu acknowledged their roles in bringing joy and relief to millions of Nigerians through their remarkable contributions to the film industry. He extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and reassured the Actors Guild of Nigeria, TAMPAN, and the entire creative community of his unwavering support during this challenging time.
Emphasizing that their legacies will endure through their works, Tinubu urged everyone to find solace in the enduring inspiration and cheer embedded in the actors' contributions to Nigerian cinema.
Sisi Quadri passed away on Friday at the Ogbomoso General Hospital, coinciding with the release of his latest movie, while Mr Ibu succumbed to cardiac arrest after a relapse about a week ago.
