Otti expressed his deep sorrow, describing the tragedy as both painful and devastating for the victims' families, friends, the Nigerian Air Force, and the entire nation. He mourned Man-Ugwueje specifically, noting that the pilot's death came just after his wedding to Adekunle, depriving the couple of a life together. Otti extended his condolences to Man-Ugwueje's family, the people of Umuahia, the Nigerian Air Force, and the Federal Government, praying for the souls of the victims to find peace.
