Former military president,
General Ibrahim Babangida, has reacted to the death of Jide, the first son of
the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola
Tinubu.
Babangida, on Friday, in a
statement by his spokesperson, Prince Kassim Afegbua, said he was sad over the
unfortunate incident, describing it as a big loss to the Tinubu’s family.
“As parents, our usual prayers
have always been that our children should see our end so that they could give
us befitting burial anytime Allah calls us home; and not the other way round.
We cannot question Allah in His decision anytime.
“It struck me with helpless awe
to learn of the sudden death of your first son Jide, on Tuesday, 31st October,
2017. I feel a sense of personal loss over this sad incident which usually tends
to test our faith in Allah as we sojourn through life,” Babangida said.
Similarly, the Niger State
governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, has condoled with Senator Tinubu.
“Jide had been a source of joy to
his parents. Therefore, I am appealing to them to see his death as a test from
Allah,” he said.
He said Babajide Tinubu died in
his prime, adding that his, “untimely death has deprived Nigeria of one of its
promising future leaders.”
