One of the best family men who lived, just like my own dad., He was v. close to his family. Despite the fact that he was holding an important govt. position, he still had time for his family. That is why I had the opportunity to learn two songs directly from him as his daughter Ngozi’s peer in those days. His investment on his family pays off. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
