Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has taken to his Twitter handle to mourn the one he called his shoemaker and friend, OJBEST.
Twenty-eight-year-old Ojima Omale was CEO of O.J Best Footwears.
Osinbajo tweeted thus: “I am deeply saddened by the news of the sudden death of Mr. Ojima Omale, aka OJBEST, 28, my young enterprising shoemaker and friend.
“Omale was CEO of O.J Best Footwears. He was talented, creative and dedicated to his craft.
“I never ceased to be impressed by his exertions for perfection in his products.
“I and many members of my team, for whom he also made shoes, will miss him, his services and unfailing good humour.
“Our thoughts are with his family as we pray that God will comfort them. May his memory remain blessed.”
Stonix News gathered that the entrepreneur ventured into footwear making after years of unemployment as a graduate.
Igala-born Omale’s OjBest has become a household name in shoemaking with VP Osinbajo and clientele of celebrities.
