Saraki, a quintessential elder statesman -Isiaka Adeleke

FORMER Osun State governor, Alhaji Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke, has said that the death of Senator Olusola Saraki, rather than being mourned, should call for celebration.
"His death should be a celebration of an icon and a political idol, whose enviable, incorruptible lifestyle, tenacity of purpose, political sagacity and wizardry, which he tailored towards selfless service to humanity, spanning decades, shall be very difficult to surpass.
He described the deceased as “one of the very few Nigeria was blessed with and a resourceful and consummate elder statesman with God-fearing disposition, true and resilient commitment to enthronement of democracy that every Nigerians now enjoys.”
Speaking further, he said that “the late Saraki raised the bar of politics without bitterness and will be greatly missed for his “political candour, flexibility and elegant demeanour.”
