| ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU |
The Asiwaju in his statement, where he paid glowing tribute to his son, said Jide passed on due to CARDIAC ARREST! The young man had slumped and given up the ghost midweek and has since being interred at the Ikoyi Cemetery.
According to the dad in his tribute, "I have suffered a grave loss" "I wish I could bring him back"!
The statement went thus- My son was a highly intelligent person with a vibrant personality and a zest for life. He followed his own course and made his own way on his own terms. Those who knew him could not help but like him. Yet, he was taken away by cardiac arrest when it seemed he had so much life to still live".
"Jide lived for so long in London and there he has left behind a darling wife and three precious boys. My wife, Remi and I have gone to London to be with them at this painful time to support and help them. Please excuse our absence from Lagos for a while, but it is essential that we are with them.
"I have suffered a grave loss that no parent would like to bear. As a father, I must spend time putting my arms around the family he has left behind. We must seek a lesson in every loss. Your reaction to my son's passing has taught me that we can be a people of profound love and humanity when we want to be. People of every tribe, region, faith and every political affiliation have expressed their sympathy and extended to me the embrace of a brother or sister.
"Even those who don't agree with me politically have shown strong support and care indistinguishable from that of my associates. This says so much about the innate goodness in all of us. For no matter what, we are not foes or enemies. We are all of one human stock, a single nation, one family.
"I wish I could bring my son back, but I cannot. However, what I can do is to be more caring and helpful to the living as I know this is what Jide would want to become of his passing".
May the soul of the dearly departed find rest.
