Former President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed sadness over the death of Mrs Florence Saraki, the mother of Senate President, Bukola Saraki and the former Minister of State for Transportation, Gbemisola Saraki.
Buhari, in a statement on Wednesday by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, described Mrs Saraki as a strong pillar of the Saraki dynasty and a mother firmly committed to family values.
The former president said the deceased was a hardworking community leader whose kindness and thoughtfulness towards others is an inspiration and will be remembered.
He said, “I am saddened by the demise of Chief Florence Saraki, a strong pillar of the Saraki dynasty and a mother firmly committed to family values and the welfare of the less privileged. The commitment and resilience she showed as she supported the family following the death of the patriarch, Senator Abubakar Olusola Saraki, and Waziri of Ilorin is praiseworthy.
“She was a hardworking and people-friendly community leader whose kindness and thoughtfulness towards others is an inspiration. She will sorely be missed by many in Kwara state and at the centre.”
Buhari offered his condolence to the children of the deceased, who died on Tuesday, June 18, and prayed for the repose of the dead.
He added, “My thoughts and prayers are with the former senate president and my noteworthy minister, for whom their mother meant so much. He May her soul rest in peace.”
