Edo State Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu, the management of the University of Benin and the member representing Ovia Federal Constituency, Mr Dennis Idahosa, have described the death of Nigerian highlife coroner, Sir Victor Uwaifo, as a huge loss to the entertainment industry and the country in general.
They noted that the demise of the entertainer and visual artist has left a void that would be difficult to fill in the industry.
Shaibu also described the death of Uwaifo as the end of an era in the African, Nigerian and Edo Musical scene.
Adieu to the father of undiluted sounds and an all-rounder. A legendary Nigerian musician, writer, sculptor, and musical instrument inventor, who played virtually all instruments with all humility, in spite of his sound education as a PhD holder in Architectural sculpture. He was indeed blessed on every side.”
