Peter Obi, former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, on Friday, attended the burial of legendary highlife musician, Mike Ejeagha in Imezi-Owa, Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State.
Obi said he travelled from Lagos to Enugu that morning to honour the late cultural icon, describing him as a man whose legacy “deeply influenced society through his outstanding contributions to culture and music.”
“In the quiet solemnity of that sacred moment, surrounded by his loved ones and a reverend father, we offered prayers at his graveside, commending his noble soul to the Almighty,” he wrote on his official X page.
Obi noted that Ejeagha’s passing should remind Nigerians of “the beauty of a life dedicated to service, culture, and truth.”
“May his memory inspire us to use our own gifts for the good of society, and to live in a manner worthy of remembrance,” he added.
He concluded his message with a prayer “Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon him. Amen.”
