Peter Obi, the leader of the OBIdient movement in Nigeria, has sent a condolence message to Wizkid over the death of his mom.
Obi prayed to God to grant Wizkid and his family the fortitude to bear the loss.
The message from the 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party reads: “On behalf of the OBIdient family, I sincerely commiserate with Mr Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, (Wizkid), who reportedly lost his beloved mother. The death of a loved one is a very painful experience, more so a beloved mother.
“Dear Wizkid, may God Almighty who called her home grant her eternal rest in His kingdom and grant you and your family the fortitude to bear her irreplaceable loss.
“God bless you always. – PO”
