Babangida, on Friday, in a statement by his spokesperson, Prince Kassim Afegbua, said he felt a sense of personal loss over the incident.
“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, condoled with Senator Tinubu.
The governor said the death was a loss to his parents, APC and the country at large.
“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.
Also, a former deputy governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, described the death as shocking and a great loss.
He said Babajide Tinub died in his prime, adding that his “untimely death has deprived Nigeria of one of its promising future leaders.”
Omisore condoled with the entire Tinubu family for the loss.
