The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, says the world has lost a much cherished and revered icon with the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Queen Elizabeth died on Thursday at the age of 96.
Tinubu, in a statement he personally issued on Thursday, said the Queen’s “energy, dedication, deep sense of duty and firm belief in the glory of the United Kingdom, particularly in the most troubling and troubled times of her long and distinguished reign, are the lasting legacies for which she shall always be remembered.

“As the first British monarch to reach seven decades on the throne, her patriotic role birthed and sustained warm and enduring friendship between the United Kingdom and Nigeria.
“Her visits to these shores were always beautiful occasions and the respect and esteem with which she was always held by the Nigerian people helped to maintain the strong bond of friendship that subsists between our two nations.
“My family’s thoughts and prayers are with the new King, Charles III, the entire Royal Family, and all commonwealth nations at this time of mourning and sadness. May she rest in eternal peace,” the APC presidential candidate stated.
