Bahamas Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis is set to hold a press conference in tribute of the late legend on Friday morning, local outlets reported.
The Post has reached out to reps for Poitier for comment.
Tributes immediately started flooding after news of his passing.
Emmy-winning actor Jeffrey Wright lauded Poitier as “one of a kind” and referenced the classic film “To Sir With Love” in a tribute tweet. “What a landmark actor. One of a kind. What a beautiful, gracious, warm, genuinely regal man,” Wright wrote. “RIP, Sir. With love.”
“Rest in power beautiful human being and actor Sir Sydney Poitier,” Rosanna Arquette tweeted.
