Florence Saraki was committed to family values, welfare of less- privileged – Buhari


Former President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled the passing away of Chief (Mrs) Florence Morenike Saraki.
She died at the age of 89 on Tuesday.
The late Florence Morenikeji Saraki was 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.
In a statement signed by his Senior Special Adviser on Media, Malam Garba Shehu, Wednesday in Abuja, Buhari expressed sadness over the lost.
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 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.”
