President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has confirmed Tinubu’s attendance at the burial ceremony of 17 military personnel who lost their lives in Okuama community, Delta State.

In a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday, Onanuga announced Tinubu’s decision to pay homage to the fallen soldiers, marking the first time in a decade that a Nigerian President will participate in such an event.

According to Onanuga, former President Muhammadu Buhari did not attend similar burials in 2018 and 2021. This gesture, Onanuga emphasized, underscores Tinubu’s concern for all Nigerians.

He stated, “It is confirmed that President Bola Tinubu will be attending the national burial for the Nigerian military officers and soldiers killed on 14 March by some gunmen in Okuama Community in Delta State.

“It is the first time in the last ten years that a Nigerian President will attend such a solemn event, in honour of our men of gallantry and valor. Two other burials in 2021 and 2018 were not graced by the incumbent.

“We told you then that @officialABAT cares. He is demonstrating it yet again.”

Last week, President Tinubu had assured a dignified burial for the 16 soldiers who lost their lives while on a peacekeeping mission in Delta State. He extended heartfelt condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers, promising that their sacrifices would always be remembered.
