President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday
commiserated with the National Leader of the All Progressives Party (APC),
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu following the death of his eldest son Jide.
Buhari in a telephone call to Tinubu
on behalf of the Federal Government and his family offered his deepest
condolences to the Tinubu family over the loss.
Describing Jide death as sad and
painful, the President, in a statement by his Special Adviser on media and
publicity, Femi Adesina, 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 the irreparable
loss and comfort all those who mourn the passage of the promising young man.
Also, the APC yesterday said it
received the sad news of Jide’s death with great shock and grief.
Its National Publicity Secretary,
Bolaji Abdullahi, in a statement said, “it is never easy losing a child or any
loved one. Indeed, it is hardest when they are taken from us too soon. Many who
met the late Jide who was a lawyer, fondly described him as cerebral,
industrious and full of life.
“In this moment of grief, the Party
offers its sincere condolence and deepest sympathy to His Excellency and other
immediate family members over the painful loss.
“May the outpouring of sympathy and
the comfort in knowing that the late Jide’s death is felt by many help the family
through this difficult time”.
However, Chairman of APC in Lagos
State, Henry Ajomale, urged Nigerians and members of the party to commiserate
with the former governor of Lagos State.
