The world-renowned twin brothers, Taiwo Oguntoye and Kehinde Oguntoye, have expressed deep sorrow over the death of popular Nigerian gospel singer, Taiwo Adegbodu, describing his passing as a painful loss to the media and entertainment industry.
The Oguntoye twins, widely known as The Most Famous Twins in Tourism and initiators of the World Twins Festival, said Adegbodu was not only a colleague but a brother, friend and strong advocate of the twins community.
In a condolence statement made available to journalists, the twins said Adegbodu’s death had left members of the twins community deeply shaken and reflective.
They recalled that for nearly two decades, they shared a close bond with the Adegbodu Twins, noting that the late singer and his brother strongly believed in and supported the vision of twins tourism from its early days.
According to them, the Adegbodu Twins’ commitment to the movement was practical and visible, adding that their support was marked by sacrifice and dedication.
The Oguntoye twins specifically referenced the maiden edition of the Naija Twins Festival held at the Cultural Centre, Ibadan, in 2009, where the Adegbodu Twins performed with a full live band, adding vibrancy to what they described as a historic gathering of twins.
They also noted that beyond their stage performance, the late singer and his twin brother volunteered their creativity and talent in producing and performing the signature tune for “Travel with the Twins,” among other contributions that strengthened the foundation of the initiative.
Describing the late Adegbodu as warm, loyal, and humble, the twins said his unwavering commitment to unity within the twins community would remain part of his enduring legacy.
They added that his passing was not only a personal loss to them but also a significant blow to the wider twins family he helped nurture over the years.
The Oguntoye twins commiserated with his twin brother, wife, children, and the entire Adegbodu family, praying for strength and comfort for them during the period of mourning.
