Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos state and the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has broken his silence on the sudden death of his eldest son, Jide Tinubu.
Jide who on Wednesday under what could be known as controversial had been laid to rest.
While pouring out his heart, Tinubu said:
“I wish I could bring back my son but I can’t.
He was a very 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.
This is a reminder that we must live each day to its best as none of us know when our last day shall be.
Mortality comes upon us all. We have no choice in that but we do have a choice whether we shall be good or bad, just or unjust. Let us all strive toward the best in ourselves''.
While thanking those who have reached out to him during this trying period, he said:
''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.”
