During the visit President Tinubu said the family is not alone in grief.
”We are just here to assure you that we share in your grief, we share in your pain.

” We assure you and the entire family that we will continue with our leader’s legacy, the mark he made for Nigeria. We will continue on the path of honesty, integrity, and great character that he imbued in us.
” May God help Nigeria, keep us united and together in the promised land,” the President said.

” I would like to pray for Nigeria, for peace to reign, for unity of the country, and for you, President Tinubu, to carry on with my late husband’s legacy of honesty, integrity, tolerance, accountability, and justice.
