First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has paid a condolence visit to the family of late industrialist, Chief Adekunle Ojora, describing him as a devout Muslim who consistently promoted religious harmony throughout his lifetime.

In a statement issued by her Senior Special Assistant on Media, Busola Kukoyi, the First Lady extolled the virtues of the late elder statesman during the visit to the family residence in Ikoyi, Lagos, noting that his legacy of unity and peaceful coexistence would remain enduring.

She was received by the deceased’s daughter, Toyin Saraki, and her husband, former Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

Speaking during the visit, Senator Tinubu conveyed the condolences of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and herself to the bereaved family.

“You have always been in my mind and that of the President. We cannot forget him. He was always there with us as a family. This is also my family,” she said.
