President Bola Tinubu has described the death of Kannywood actress Saratu Gidado as saddening while condoling with her family.
Tinubu, in a statement issued by presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale on Wednesday condoled with the family, colleagues, and fans of Gidado.
The Alarmee reports that Gidado died on Tuesday morning in her sleep at her residence in Kano.
President Tinubu described the passing of the 56-year-old movie star as saddening, not only to those mourning but also to the nation, which she honoured through her talent as a thespian.
The President said beyond the vacuum her demise has created in the flourishing entertainment industry, Ms. Gidado‘s humanitarian pursuits will also be sorely missed.
Tinubu also sent his commiserations to the Kano State Government and to all those impacted by Ms. Saratu Gidado’s passing while praying for Allah’s mercy on her soul.
