President Muhammadu Buhari and National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed, have sympathised with the family of the Dr Ore Falomo over his death.
In separate messages, the two prayed God to grant eternal rest to the deceased and comfort to his family.
The president in a condolence message issued by his spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, on Saturday, noted that Falomo’s dedication to duty and welfare of his patients brought him into limelight, especially as the personal physician to the late business mogul and politician MKO Abiola.
While commiserating with friends, associates and professional colleagues of the former Chief Medical Director of Maryland Specialist Hospital, Lagos, Buhari said he would be sorely missed for his kindness and humane nature.
Tinubu, in his condolence message signed by his media spokesperson, Mr. Tunde Rahman, said though Falomo was not a politician, he was part of the June 12 struggle.
He said: “I knew Dr. Ore Falomo very well as a physician and an activist.

“Though, he was late Bashorun MKO’s Personal physician, he was part of the struggle for the revalidation of June 12.
“He was no politician but he identified with us. He identified with our agitation for a better and progressive Nigeria. He was one of us.
“He participated in Abiola’s political struggles and also felt his pains. He was one of those who saw Abiola last, some two weeks to his eventual death.
“His death is a loss to the country, to the medical profession and to the progressives family.”
Tinubu said Falomo would be deeply missed by all those who came in contact with him because of his good nature.
“May his soul rest in the bosom of the Lord. May God grant his family the courage to live through his passing and the strength to continue with his good deeds,” he said.
Falomo died early Saturday morning in Lagos after an illness.
