Tinubu mourns actor Samanja

 

President Bola Tinubu has condoled with the family of late retired soldier, broadcaster and actor, Usman Baba Pategi (Samanja), who passed away at 84.

 

In a tribute by the Special Adviser to the President, Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale and shared on X on Tuesday, Tinubu acknowledged Pategi’s dedication to national service and the influence of his television programme, Samanja, which played a crucial role in providing entertainment for several decades.

 

The statement reads: “The late Pategi chose to obey the call to national duty when the country needed his service. His television show, Samanja, was a must-watch entertainment for decades.

 

“Through the show, he taught young citizens national values and respect for our service people. He was a patriot who left behind several indelible impressions.

 

“President Tinubu encouraged the Pategi family, the people and governments of Niger and Kwara states, the Pategi Emirate Council, and members of the Nigerian entertainment industry to take comfort in the worthy legacy of the deceased.”
