Deceased gospel musician, KODA
Renowned gospel musician, ACP Kofi Sarpong, has shared his sentiments following the demise of his colleague, Kofi Owusu Dua Anto, well known as KODA.
According to him, KODA is someone who does not joke with his music business and always ensures that he comes out with quality content to serve the public.
He indicated that the late gospel musician’s submissiveness and compassion are outstanding, and he will forever be remembered for that.
“KODA is a perfector and he wouldn’t do anything mediocre for himself or for God. His pieces of art and all the songs KODA came out with were exceptional. The humility and the human feeling he had for people. We have met at so many programmes and I know the kind of person he was,” he said during an interview with JoyPrime TV, which was monitored by GhanaWeb.
ACP Sarpong asserted that KODA’s sudden death should be a lesson to individuals to be prepared at all times because life is fragile.
“This [KODA’s demise] shows that we should make our luggages ready because it [death] can be any moment. Also, we should love one another and make peace with everybody.”
