Bayelsa musician to get state burial

 

             The late Ijaw music maestro, King Robert Ebizimor, would be given a state burial by the Bayelsa State Government.
               Ebizimor died in a fatal road accident on July 31 along Effurun-Warri area of the East-West Road.
The state’s Commissioner for Culture and Ijaw National Affairs, Dr. Felix Tuodolo, poured encomiums on the late musician.

He described him as the promoter of Ijaw culture through his evergreen renditions.
Tuodolo said: “The government of Bayelsa State, after due consultations with the musician’s families and other stakeholders wishes to state that the burial of the late King Robert Ebizimor will take place on November 7.
“In the light of the above, we are calling on all sons and daughters of the Ijaw nation to come out in their large numbers to give the music icon a befitting burial.”
He said Ebizimor would always be remembered for his philosophical music and how he used it to unite the Ijaw people.
