Tinubu mourns Kannywood actress Gidado

From Juliana Taiwo-Obalonye, Abuja

President Bola Tinubu has consoled with the family, colleagues, and fans of ace Kannywood actress, Saratu Gidado, who passed away on Tuesday morning in Kano.

In a statement issued by Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, 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.

He said beyond the vacuum her demise has created in the flourishing entertainment industry, Gidado’s humanitarian pursuits will also be sorely missed.

The President also sends his commiserations to the Kano State Government and to all those impacted by Gidado’s passing while praying for Allah’s mercy on her soul.
