Mr Tinubu expressed his condolences to the people of the area and the bereaved.
Messrs Osinbajo and Tinubu are facing off in the ruling All Progressives Congress’ presidential primary, along with other aspirants, to become the party’s presidential candidate ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen attacked the St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo on Sunday leaving more than 50 people killed.
