In a statement from his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu offered his condolences to Useni’s family, friends, military peers, and political associates. He praised Useni for his courage and commitment during his military career and said that his leadership inspired many young officers to prioritize the country’s interests over personal gain.
