President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday night played host to All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and the pioneer Interim Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, at the presidential villa, Abuja.
Their visit to the official residence of the president was for the purpose of condoling with him over the death of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Ibrahim and 10 other military officers in an air crash.
They were accompanied by former governor of Ogun State, Chief Segun Osoba; former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Alani Akinrinade (Rtd.); and Chief Pius Akinyelure.
Speaking to the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) after the meeting, Tinubu described the incident as “a national loss,” saying that “it’s demoralising, it’s disheartening, it’s sad, and to rub minds with him too, to see a commitment to humanity.”
