“I also used the visit to welcome our leader back from his successful medical trip abroad and prayed to God to grant him good health in abundance.”

Chukwuma Eze wrote:
“You went to commiserate with the landlord of Lagos not even the governor. No wonder nothing is working in Nigeria. You old folks holds Nigeria in the jugular strangling everything good out of it. May God judge all of you.”
Joseph Chinedu Ugwu wrote:
“The condolence visit should be for the governor unless you're paying him condolence visit in advance.”
Paul Ndu asks:
“Stop dragging the dead into your dirty politics. You people meet to plan how to continue your business of strangulating the poor masses and the generation unborn and you come here to drag victims of the collapsed Ikoyi building. Meanwhile is Tinubu bereaved?”

“You went to commiserate with Tinubu rather than the families of those who died? You leaders don't care about the masses only your interests. What a shame.”
Chijioke Nwankpa wrote:
“You went on a political mission. Stop desecrating the memory of the dead people by claiming you went to commiserate.”
