Abia governor-elect, Dr Alex Otti, has sent a letter of commiserations to Adanna Chris Mba, the wife of the late veteran musician, Mr Chris Mba on his death.
In a letter dated May 5, 2023, entitled: “TRIBUTE TO MR. CHRIS MBA”, Dr Otti said: “I received with sadness the news of the passing of Mr. Chris Mba, a veteran Nigerian musician on Wednesday, May 3, 2023.
“He was, until his death, on the front row of illustrious Nigerian musicians of Abia extraction whose sterling accomplishments have inspired the younger generation to do uncommon exploits in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
“His death is one too many, coming at a time the incoming administration in Abia State has perfected plans to optimally exploit the vast knowledge, abundant skills and invaluable experience of the late Mba and his peers for the overall benefit of Ndi Abia, particularly the culture-tourism sector.
“I, however, find consolation in his unique artistic legacies as one of the hottest and indeed finest artistes on the Premier Records label in the 1980s.
“I wish to convey my heartfelt condolences to his wife, Adanna and her children. I pray that God Almighty will grant you all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
“In the same vein, my sympathy also goes to Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN) and Collecting Society of Nigeria (COSON) where he left indelible marks as a resourceful member.”
