"On behalf of my husband, President Bola Tinubu, and the people of Nigeria, I extend our deepest condolences to Dr. Saraki, Mrs. Toyin Saraki, Erelu Ojuolape Ojora, and the entire Ojora and Saraki families."
"May Almighty God grant him eternal rest and console all who mourn.”
Dr. Bukola Saraki, in welcoming the First Lady, expressed appreciation for the gesture, noting the honor of receiving such high-level solidarity during this period of grief.
The visit underscores the importance of national unity, mutual respect, and compassion in times of bereavement.
The First Lady was accompanied by close aides, and the meeting included moments of reflection on Otunba Ojora’s illustrious life and contributions.
