Tinubu Mourns Veteran Actor, Samanja
President Bola Tinubu has condoled with the family of retired soldier, broadcaster, and veteran actor, Usman Baba Pategi (Samanja), who died on Sunday at 84.
The President, in a release issued on Tuesday by his Media Adviser, Ajuri Ngelale, described the death of the popular thespian as a painful loss, saying he contributed to the country through the various vocations he pursued in his lifetime.
According to the President: “The late Pategi chose to obey the call to national duty when the country needed his service. His television show, Samanja, was must-watch entertainment for decades. Through the show, he taught young citizens national values and respect for our servicepeople. He was a patriot who left behind several indelible impressions”.
