The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has commiserated with the Okposo family, friends, and fraternity of gospel artists over the death of the renowned gospel singer, Sammie Okposo.

The PDP presidential candidate prayed to God to grant his soul eternal rest.
