Ossai Ovie Success, the aide to the governor of Delta State, has publicly voiced his disapproval of actor Zubby Michael’s attire at the funeral of his late colleague, Junior Pope.
Junior Pope, who tragically passed away in a boating accident on April 10, 2024, was laid to rest today in Enugu State, with many of his fellow actors in attendance.
Ossai found Zubby Michael’s choice of a red t-shirt to be disrespectful and unsuitable for such a solemn occasion.
He expressed his disappointment, suggesting that a white or black outfit would have been more appropriate, given Junior Pope’s young age at the time of his death.
In his words: “This is disrespectful to late Jnr Pope. Dear Zubby Michael, this your red dressing is inappropriate.
This your red t shirt dressing to the burial ceremony of late Jr Pope is annoying and disrespectful to Jnr Pope.
Jnr Pope was so young when he di*d and doesn’t deserve you putting on red dressing to his burial ceremony. The burial ceremony calls for a sober reflection and not a celebration party ground. You could have gone there putting on black or white dressing.
I am disappointed though you are a good guy and I so much love watching your movies.
I know you did this in an error and I know you will Change next time. One love bro”
