President Bola Tinubu has expressed condolences to his Special Assistant on Social Media, Olusegun Dada, following the death of his father, Chief Idowu Folorunsho Dada, who passed away at the age of 91.
The condolence message was conveyed in a statement issued on Tuesday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Earlier in the day, Segun Dada announced the passing of his father in a heartfelt post on X, writing, “Goodnight Dad. Till we meet to never part again. Say hello to mum.”
In his tribute, President Tinubu described the late Chief Dada as a man of integrity, discipline and compassion whose life left a lasting impact on those who knew him.
According to the statement, Chief Dada enjoyed a distinguished career as a former Sales Manager at NEXAN Kablemetal Nigeria Plc, where he earned the admiration and respect of colleagues and associates.
The President also acknowledged his dedication as a father and mentor, noting that he raised his children, including Segun Dada, with strong moral values and a deep sense of responsibility.
Tinubu further commended the late nonagenarian for his commitment to the Church and his exemplary family values, describing his life as one marked by service and good character.
The President prayed for the peaceful repose of Chief Dada’s soul and asked God to grant comfort and strength to his family during the period of mourning.
“I extend my heartfelt condolences to the children of Pa Dada and the extended family members over the transition of their patriarch. I especially console Segun at this difficult time. The family should find comfort in the legacy of service and good name left behind by Chief Dada,” the President said.
