The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has eulogised the iconic Nollywood actor Richard Mofe-Damijo, popularly called RMD as he marks his 60th birthday.

In a statement he personally signed, Senator Omo-Agege joined the Nollywood family in congratulating the ace entertainer, lawyer and politician.

The Delta Central Senator described the respected thespian as a living legend and an icon of the Nigerian movie industry, even as he extolled his exceptional talent, skills and versatility.

According to him, RMD used Nollywood as a powerful instrument of social engineering, societal reorientation and cultural revival.

“Through the various roles he has played over the years in the countless number of movies he has featured in, Richard Mofe-Damijo has become a powerful symbol of social engineering and value reorientation,” he said.

Senator Omo-Agege prayed the almighty God to grant the veteran Nollywood actor longer life, good health and the strength to keep serving.

The New Diplomat had reported that a virtual event convened on Saturday by veteran journalist, Professor Jamin Ohwovoriole of North-West University, Orlando-Florida, USA, brought together several artistic intellectuals locally and around the world, as well as topshots in Nollywood to celebrate the life of the multiple award winning thespian.

At the online lecture, speakers described the Delta-born actor, Mofe-Damijo as a hybrid artist, whose work traverses acting, journalism, public relations, politics and law with a distinctive intersection.
