My sympathy also goes out to the presiding officers of the House of Representatives and its entire membership as they mourn the profound loss of our distinguished colleague," Tinubu expressed.
"His resounding victory at the polls was, in itself, a testament to the deep affection and respect he commanded among his constituents. His commitment and effectiveness in representing the interests of his constituents in the hallowed halls of the House were truly commendable."
The president further added, "In this difficult moment, my prayers are with the departed soul of Mr. Danbuga. May he find eternal peace, and may his family find solace and divine comfort during these trying times.
