Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari
came down to Lagos from the
Federal Capital Territory this
weekend for a condolence visit to
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the leader of
the ruling party APC – All
Progressives Congress and his wife,
Senator Oluremi Tinubu on Saturday
November 21, 2015.

She went to the Tinubus’ home on
Bourdillon Road in Ikoyi at about
12;45pm, to commiserate with the
leader on the death of 111 year old
monarch Emir of Borgu, Alhaji
Haliru Dantoro who passed away on
October 30 this year.

Tinubu and the monarch were close,
and the Emir gave him his famous
traditional title, Jagaban Borgu, in
2006. They met in 1992, when they
were both senators.

Speaking on the late monarch, Hajia
Buhari described him as a committed nationalist.

According to Cable.ng, in his
response, Tinubu reportedly said:
“He was a very close friend and
compatriot, and his death is a very
personal loss to me. Particularly, it
was very painful when I saw him on
Wednesday; he was looking radiant
and ready to come back home.”

Also present was Lagos State First
Lady, Bolanle Ambode. The Tinubus
and Bolanle Ambode wore ‘aso ebi’ –
the same colour and aso oke fabric.
