President Bola Tinubu has conveyed Nigeria’s condolences to Niger Republic’s military leader, General Abdourahamane Tiani, following the death of his father, Tiani Hassane who died on Thursday at the age of 110.
In a condolence message by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu described the loss of a father as a profound and deeply personal grief.
He urged Tiani to draw comfort from his father’s remarkable longevity and the impact he made on those around him.
The condolence message comes against the backdrop of strained relations between Nigeria and Niger Republic following the military coup of July 2023, in which Tiani led the overthrow of elected President Mohamed Bazoum.
