The Senate President, Bukola Saraki on Thursday joined other
millions of Nigerians and fans of veteran music maker, King Sunny Ade to
celebrate him as turned 70 years old.
Today, I am delighted to join millions across the world in
celebrating King Sunny Ade as he marks his 70th birthday. He is one performer
whose evergreen music livens up homes and daily make joyful thousands of music
lovers across the world irrespective of creed or ethnicity.
For more than five decades, KSA has dominated the music
scene such that kids who were listening to his songs in the 70s are still
listening to him now that they are leaders in the political and socio-economic
sphere of our country.
His highly captivating and philosophical lyrics are often
irresistible as he renders them with his sonorous voice, accompanied with
titillating dance steps, signature guitar tunes and other world class musical
instruments.
I dare say that the "King" is a true gift of God
to Nigeria and equally Nigeria's gift to the world. I salute his dexterity,
excellence and inspirational musical career through which he continues to
positively impact both present and upcoming generations as well as contributing
immensely to nation building," he said.
While wishing King Sunny Ade many more years of fruitful
service to the fatherland, the Senate President urged the Federal Government to
tailor some of its intervention measures in the entertainment industry towards
encouraging budding talents capable of replicating the strides of one of the
world's musical icon.
