President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended condolences to the family, friends and admirers of legendary highlife musician and folklorist Mike Ejeagha, who passed away on Friday at the age of 95.

In a statement on Saturday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga , Tinubu paid tribute to Ejeagha’s towering influence on Nigerian music and cultural heritage, describing him as “one of Nigeria’s greatest folklorists, songwriters, and musicians in the Igbo language.”

The President hailed Ejeagha’s distinctive storytelling through music as a cultural treasure, noting his role in preserving and promoting Igbo traditions across generations.

“May the spirit and values of Gentleman Mike Ejeagha’s music continue to remind us that music has the power to revive, heal and redirect energy towards worthy causes that help build our nation,” Tinubu stated.

The President also lauded the Enugu State Government, led by Governor Peter Mbah, for honouring the late icon during his lifetime, emphasizing the importance of recognizing cultural custodians while they are still with us.

Tinubu concluded his tribute with prayers for divine comfort to all who mourn Ejeagha’s passing and for the peaceful repose of his soul.

Mike Ejeagha, affectionately known as “Gentleman,” was a pioneering figure in the highlife genre and a revered custodian of Igbo oral tradition, whose musical legacy spanned over six decades.
