Goodluck Jonathan and Atiku Abubakar condole with Tinubu over loss of son

Former Nigerian president took to twitter to register his condolence immediately the news broke of the death of Jide Tinubu, son of former governor of Lagos state and the All Progressive Party National leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Jonathan said: "My deepest sympathies to Asiwaju and family on the great loss you have suffered. May God grant your son Jide repose in His Bosom."  

Former Vice President and frontline All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Atiku Abubakar has expressed shock and anguish over the sudden death of Jide, the son of his political colleague and friend, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In a personal message by the Waziri Adamawa, Atiku commiserates with the Tinubu family counseling them not to lose faith in the will of Allah despite the oddity of the present pain and challenges they may have found themselves in.  “Nothing happens in this world without the will of Allah. How long we live or when to die is all ordained by the Almighty. But it’s most heart-breaking for any parent to bury his or her own child. I pray that Almighty Allah would grant the Asiwaju and Senator Remi, his wife, and the rest of the family the fortitude to bear this huge loss”, Atiku said.
