President Bola Tinubu Mourns Former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga

President Bola Tinubu has extended his condolences to the government and people of Kenya following the death of former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga.

In a statement released on Wednesday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu described Odinga as a prominent figure in African politics, whose lifelong dedication to democracy, justice, and national unity had a profound impact not only in Kenya but across the continent.

He praised Odinga’s bravery in the face of political challenges, his relentless pursuit of electoral reform, and his strong belief in the power of the people — values Tinubu said will continue to inspire future generations.

Highlighting Odinga’s stature as an international statesman and a symbol of Pan-African ideals, Tinubu noted that the late leader was a passionate advocate for inclusive governance and regional cooperation.

“His legacy will live on through the institutions he helped build and the democratic principles he upheld. In this moment of national mourning, Nigeria stands with the people of Kenya and President William Ruto as you navigate this difficult time,” Tinubu said.

He concluded by expressing hope that Raila Odinga’s memory will continue to guide Kenya on the path of peace, unity, and progress.
