“Our hearts bleed and we are extremely saddened by the loss of this promising young man who was known for his love for humanity and lofty dreams for a better Nigeria.

“Indeed, our party is sorrowed that Dipo died at a time the lessons he must have learnt from his father would have been of immense benefit for our nation,” he said.

“We continue in prayers that the Almighty God, in His mercies, grants all of us the fortitude to bear this painful loss,’’ Secondus added.
