President Bola Tinubu has sympathised with former world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua following a tragic accident on the Lagos–Ibadan expressway that left two persons dead.
The accident occurred on Monday afternoon near the Sinoma
area, close to the Sagamu axis of the expressway in Ogun state, leaving the
boxing champion with minor injuries.
Joshua and three other passengers were travelling from Lagos
to Sagamu when the sport utility vehicle (SUV) conveying them collided with a
stationary truck.
In a statement posted on his X handle, Tinubu described the
incident as an immense tragedy casting a shadow over the season.
“I extend my deep sympathies to you following the tragic
accident on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, which claimed two precious lives and
caused you injuries,” the president wrote.
“This immense tragedy casts a deep shadow on this season. I
sympathise with you and your family as you bear the emotional weight of this
unfortunate incident.
“As a sportsman, you have always shown courage, discipline,
and unwavering love for our country. These are qualities that have made you a
source of national pride.
“In moments like this, we must encourage one another as
brothers and sisters with a shared destiny.
“I pray for strength, wisdom, and grace for you during this
painful period. May God grant you a speedy recovery and repose to the souls of
the departed.”
