Three former heads of state, Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida and Gen. Abubakar Abdulsalam were in
Ilorin, yesterday, to condole with the family of the late former Second
Republic Senate leader, Dr. Abubakar Olusola Saraki.
Gen. Buhari came visited in the company of former House of
Representatives’ speaker, Aminu Bello Masari while Gen Babangida came
with Gen. Abdulsalam and former secretary to the government of the
federation, Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe.
Speaking during the visit, Gen. Babangida described the late political icon and Waziri of Ilorin, Dr. Abubakar Olusola Saraki, as a man of honour and integrity.
The former military president urged Nigerian leaders to emulate the exemplary conduct of the late politician, who he noted used his wealth to better the lots of the down trodden.
He added, “Waziri’s death is not only a loss to people of Ilorin alone but to Nigerians at large. He touched so many lives. In fact, I’m a beneficiary of the late Saraki’s humour. He tried so much.
“Saraki came to this life, we saw what he did, people talk about his good deeds and it is my belief that with these testimonies, God will grant him eternal rest”.
Gen Buhari described the late politician as a great man who spent his life catering for the needs of his people.
He urged the children of the late politician to sustain the enviable legacies of their father.
