The deceased, Jide was said to have developed heath complication and died on his way to the hospital. He had since been buried according to Muslim rites. In a condolence message, Senator Ashafa, stated, “I received with shock and great sadness earlier today the news of the demise of Mr. Jide Tinubu, the son of our leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. “My heart and prayers are with Asiwaju and his family at this time of grief. May the soul of Mr. Jide Tinubu Rest In Perfect Peace.

Also, Igbokwe, in a condolence message, sympathized with Tinubu, saying, “With heavy hearts, we sympathize with our leaders, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu over the loss of his first son, Jide. “The news came as a rude shock to us at a time like this. Death of young people like Jide whose parents are alive leaves a deep pains that will not go away too easily. “When our leader Asiwaju is happy we are happy with him, when he weeps, we weep also, when he is in pains, we are in pains also. “May God grant Asiwaju and the entire Tinubu family the fortitude and the courage to bear this great loss.”
