The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has paid a condolence visit to the family of former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, ahead of the funeral of their matriarch, Mrs Florence Morenike Saraki, in Lagos.
While condoling with the children, Mrs Tinubu said her visit, which has the permission of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is a way of letting the family know that they love them.
According to Tinubu: “We are one family. You know that politics aside, President will always look out for you.
“Mama lived a good life. I know it hurts so much but we thank God for the good life she lived.”
The First Lady pointed out that the son of the deceased and President of the 8th Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki, was always in her support at that time in the upper chamber.
She prayed for the repose of the soul of the departed.
In his response, Saraki noted that he was not surprised by the visit of the First Lady, whom he described as a passionate and loving woman.
He said: “You always see the bigger picture all the times. I know you are a passionate woman who is full of compassion. I know you are here with the knowledge of the President. I thank you very much.”
