Wife of the President, Oluremi Tinubu, has told former Senate President, Bukola Saraki that they are one family in spite of political differences.
The First Lady spoke on Thursday when she paid a condolence visit to the Saraki family ahead of the funeral of their mother, Mrs Florence Morenike Saraki, in Lagos this week.
Commiserating with the bereaved family, Remi Tinubu noted that her visit which had the permission of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is a way of letting the family know that the Tinubus love the Sarakis.
“We are one family. You know that politics aside, Mr 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,” she said.
She explained that the son of the deceased and President of the 8th Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki was always in her support at their time at the upper chamber.
She prayed for the repose of the soul of the departed.
Senator Bukola Saraki, in his response, noted that he was not surprised by the visit of the First Lady who he described as a passionate and loving woman.
“You always see the bigger picture all the time. 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,” Saraki said.
