President Bola Tinubu has extended his condolences to the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Abba Moro, following the tragic deaths of his son, Victor Moro, and grandson, Abba Moro Jr.
In a Tuesday statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, the President described the losses as heartbreaking and urged the family to find comfort in the short but meaningful lives of the departed.
Tinubu commiserated with the Senator’s family, friends, and associates, particularly those from the Benue South Senatorial District, which Moro represents in the National Assembly.
“The President urges the family to find solace in the impactful lives of the children, whose time on earth, though short, is truly a blessing to the many lives they touched and those who came in contact with them,” the statement read in part.
He prayed for divine strength and consolation for the bereaved family, asking God Almighty to “receive the souls of the departed children and comfort the family.”
Senator Moro, a former Minister of Interior, has represented Benue South since 2019 and currently leads the opposition caucus in the 10th Senate.
Moro’s son died in a car crash on the Mararaba axis of Nasarawa State soon after returning from studies abroad.
Multiple outlets said the accident happened a day after the family buried the senator’s grandson, Abba Moro Jr.
The grandson’s death reportedly occurred earlier and he was laid to rest shortly before the crash that killed Victor; however, the cause of the child’s death has not been publicly disclosed.
