Veteran actor and producer, Adebayo Salami, has said it will be difficult to fill the gap that deceased comedian, Baba Suwe, left behind.
Baba Suwe died in Lagos on Monday, with his burial fixed for Thursday November 25.
Commenting on the loss, Salami, aka Oga Bello, said the long sickness was one he thought the late colleague had survived.
He said, “We thank God for everything.
”Baba Suwe is someone we have been looking forward to that one day, he will get well, but almighty Allah has taken His decision. There is nothing we can do about it.
“We can only pray that his soul rest in perfect peace and may almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings and stand by his relations to bear the huge loss.
“Unfortunately, his demise left huge vacuum in the Nigerian comedy industry. His fans started missing him a long time ago, when he became ill.
“He is a talented person. A clown. Whatever he does or says appeared funny. His colleagues, too, will miss him greatly.”
