The National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Wednesday in Lagos, condoled with the family, friends and business associates of the Chairman of Globe Motors Holdings (Nigeria) Limited, Chief Willie Anumudu, over his death.
Anumudu had suffered some health challenges a few days ago and was tested for COVID-19 but the result turned out negative. He, however, died early on Wednesday as he was about to be flown to Germany for further treatment.
In a condolence message issued from his Media Office and signed by his Media Aide, Tunde Rahman, Tinubu described the late Anumudu as a prominent businessman reputed for his industry and humanitarian activities.
“Anumudu was a renowned philanpropist and businessman. As Chairman of Globe Motors Nigeria Limited, he was reputed for his industry, business expertise and philanthropist activities.
“He was very close to me. His death is a personal loss. But it is also a distressing loss to the country.
“Apart from his contributions in the business sector, the country needs people like Anumudu at this critical time when government and private sector players are putting minds and resources together to halt the spread of the coronavirus pandemic and mitigate its effects on our people and economy.
“I commiserate with his wife, Nkiru, and children as well as with his friends and associates. May Almighty God comfort them at this time. May the soul of the late Anumudu also find eternal rest,” the APC National Leader was quoted as saying.
Tinubu also extended his condolences to Governor Hope Uzodinma, the government and people of Imo State even as he sympathised with the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), saying “they have lost an illustrious member.”
