Music legend, King Sunny Ade is currently celebrating his 70th birthday at his home town in Ondo state with friends and family.
After
a prayer session at a church, the King of music moved home with his
family to continue with the celebration, where he received a huge
portrait as one of his gifts.
President Buhari has sent his
heartfelt message to the veteran act in a statement by his Special
Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina.
He said King
Sunny Ade had, over the years, brought pride to Nigeria by mastering his
art against all odds, taking the African musical genre to the global
stage as well as serving as an inspiration and a mentor to upcoming
artistes.
President Buhari also acknowledged that the
septuagenarian had brought joy to many hearts and homes through his
music, commending King Sunny Ade’s love for humanity, especially the
less privileged, by setting up a foundation catering for the needs of
others.
