The visitors expressed their shock and sadness at the sudden departure of Senator Gbenga Aluko while conveying to the Wife their sincere condolences and that of other friends, and His colleagues at the 4th senate(1999 senators), where he was also a principal officer. They assured the wife and family of their continued love and support, as they remain in their thoughts and prayers.

They also prayed that; God will uphold the family and all his loved ones and grant them the fortitude and strength to bear this very sad loss. Importantly, the group stated that, Senator Gbenga Aluko selflessly served Nigeria, and was a global citizen, a perfect gentleman, a truly detribalised Nigerian, and a great Nigerian.
