Former Abia State Governor Dr. Orji Kalu has described Adamu Wayya, popularly called Dan Maraya Jos, as a music icon, whose accomplishments in the traditional entertainment industry would not be forgotten.
He said the gifted musician contributed to nation-building through his music, which preached love, togetherness and unity.
In a condolence message signed by his Special Adviser, Kunle Oyewumi, Kalu said: “The demise of Adamu Wayya is a colossal loss not only to the entertainment industry, but the nation. He was good at his calling and displayed his God-given talent at any opportunity. “He was a celebrated musician, who left behind a legacy for others in the industry to uphold. He contributed his quota to the world and his memories will remain evergreen in the minds of the people. May God grant the music legend a blissful rest.”
The business mogul, who commiserated with the government and people of Plateau State, prayed to God to grant the late philosopher eternal rest and give the family the fortitude to bear the loss.
