Ganduje Mourns Kannywood Movie Director, Aminu S Bono
The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on Tuesday said the demise of ace Kannywood Movie Director, Aminu Surajo Bono, was a big blow to the entertainment industry.
Dr Ganduje, who expressed shock over the passage of the popular actor, said it came at a time when the industry needed him most.
A statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, and made available to newsmen on Tuesday, stated that “Bono stood tall among others in the entertainment industry in terms of commitment to preserve and promote the socio-cultural values of the Hausa/Fulani heritage”.
Mr Olofu said that Bono’s life and times in the industry created a positive impact and helped in no small measure to enlist followership confidence in the industry.
Ganduje said, “I want to use this time to identify and commiserate with his immediate family in particular and Kannywood in general over the demise of one of the brightest brains in the industry, ace movie director, Aminu Surajo Bono”.
The statement stressed that “Bono’s life and times in the entertainment industry brought fame to Kannywood”.
Ganduje maintained that the late film director’s life on stage and off stage boosted the confidence of those who had contrary views of the industry.
The APC National Chairman noted, “I must admit that Aminu Surajo Bono’s exit has created a gap in the entertainment industry, and this is a reality we must contend with for years ahead”.
The statement also quoted Dr Ganduje to pray to Allah to grant the immediate family and Kannywood the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss, while he also beseeched Allah to forgive his shortcomings and grant him Janatul Firdausi, Amin.
