Senator David Dafinone on Wednesday joined several dignitaries across Nigeria to mourn the death of his colleague and friend, Senator Olusola Saraki, who died on Wednesday.
In a condolence message to the family, Senator Dafinone described Saraki’s death as painful, especially at a time when the state (The Federal Republic of Nigeria) is in a state of flux.
Dafinone lauded Saraki’s great concern for the unity of Nigeria and the growth of democracy.
“Dr. Saraki as a medical doctor, international businessman, philanthropist and politician gained the respect, trust and love of the entire country and he will be greatly missed” he said.
Dafinone prayed Almighty Allah to grant the soul of the late second republic politician eternal rest and grant members of the family the strength to bear the loss.
