Fashola's tribute to Christy Essien-Igbokwe

Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, defied the damp weather to pay a condolence visit to the family of the late lady of songs Christy Essien-Igbokwe. He arrived a few minutes before 3 pm describing the deceased as
a truly exemplary and multi-talented woman who has etched worthy legacies in the sands of time.Fashola who was received by the widower said she was also a leader for the arts and entertainment industry.“This is somebody we all seem to know through her songs. She was in our homes, our cars and suddenly she is not there anymore. To say that we will miss her is a big understatement and I can only imagine the pains of the family,” Fashola added. The governor revealed that he has been a fan of Essien-Igbokwe on the New Masquerade on NTA network right from when he was a teenager, saying: “Our stars are beginning to take their grand exit and we thank God for their lives. We must continue

to cherish the memory of what they did while they were here”
