Former President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with ex-Senate President Bukola Saraki over the death of his mother, Florence.
Buhari described Florence as a strong pillar of the Saraki dynasty.
In a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, the former President said Florence was a hardworking community leader whose kindness and thoughtfulness towards others is an inspiration and would 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.
“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.”
