Former President Muhammadu Buhari sends his condolences to the Sarakis on the death of their matriarch Chief (Mrs) Florence Morenike Saraki, which occurred on Tuesday, June 18.
Florence Morenike Saraki is the mother of the president of the 8th National Assembly, Senator Bukola Saraki and his former minister of state, transportation and later solid minerals development, Senator Gbemisola Ruqayyat Saraki.
Buhari said he is 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.
According to him, the commitment and resilience she had shown 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.
“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.”
