President Muhammadu Buhari, Oyo’s Governor Abiola Ajimobi and other prominent Nigerians have been condoling with the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the demise of his son, Jide.
In a release, Buhari, through his spokesman, Femi Adesina, said he is deeply grieved to learn of the passing away of Jide Tinubu, eldest son of the APC National Leader.
President Buhari in a telephone call Wednesday to Asiwaju Tinubu on behalf of the Federal Government and his family offered his deepest condolences to the Tinubu family over the loss of Jide.
Describing the transition of Jide as “sad and painful,” the President said that the nation has been denied the services and potentials of the resourceful lawyer.
He prayed that God will grant the Tinubu family, friends and associates the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss, and comfort all who mourn the passage of the promising gentleman.
In a similar development, Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, has also condoled with Senator Bola Tinubu, over what he called the depressing news of the death of his beloved scion, Jide.
In a statement by his Special Adviser, Communication and Strategy, Mr. Yomi Layinka, the governor expressed regrets that the cold hands of death have snatched another promising and ebullient young man.
Ajimobi described the sudden death of the APC national leader’s son as not only shocking but also, unfortunate and disheartening.
The governor said: “My dear Asiwaju, please accept my heartfelt condolences. On behalf of myself, family and the good people of Oyo State, I pray that God will give you the strength and courage to bear this monumental loss.
“My thoughts and prayers are with you in this trying period. With Jide’s death, the country has lost another shining star and future leader. May the Almighty comfort his wife, children and the entire family.”
