The governor commiserated with President Muhammadu Buhari, the Military and the families of those who lost their loved ones in the crash.

"I join our compatriots worldwide to commiserate with the military establishment, especially the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Air Force, on this devastating development.

"It was indeed a black Friday for our fatherland.

"It is a date we will forever remember for the loss of true heroes and a significant depletion in the ranks of the Nigerian military elite.

"On behalf of the people and government of Kwara, I commiserate with President Muhammadu Buhari, the Chief of Defence Staff, the entire military establishment and the immediate and extended families of the fallen officers of our great Armed Forces.

"It is our prayers that God Almighty will spare our nation and indeed our world of a recurrence of such calamity in the future. We pray for the repose the souls of these fine officers.
