APC National leader, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu lost his son on the 31th October 2017.
Mr. Jide was the first son of the APC National leader.
According to a member of the Tinubu family, who asked not to be named because of the sensitive nature of the matter, Jide suddenly collapsed and died from what was suspected to be a heart attack around 9 pm on Tuesday.
