PRESIDENT TINUBU'S MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE TO CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE AND HER FAMILY


 


With a deep sense of grief, I condole with Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, her husband, Dr Ivara Esege, and the entire family on the passing of their son, Nkanu Nnamdi.


 


As a parent myself who has suffered the loss of a loved one, no grief is as devastating as losing a child.


 


I empathise with the family at this difficult time, and I mourn this sad loss with them.


 


Ms Adichie is a literary icon who has brought joy and light to many homes globally, and I pray she and her family find strength in the Almighty in this trying hour.


 


My prayers are with the family.
