“Saraki is an excellent administrator and quintessential lawmaker, who continues to make sacrifices for the unity, stability and development of our dear nation.
“Both in private and public lives, Sen. Saraki, as a medical doctor, two-term governor of Kwara State, and later President of the Senate, distinguished himself with outstanding patriotism in the service of our fatherland and humanity at large.
“As Senate President, he fought and made personal sacrifices for the survival and sustenance of our nation’s constitutional democracy,” Ologunagba said.

Ologunagba said in spite of the daunting challenges, including the threats and harassments, Saraki had remained unwavering in his commitment as a party man and patriotic Nigerian, particularly in the collective effort to rescue and rebuild our dear nation.
He congratulated Saraki and prayed God to bless him with many more years in good health so that Nigeria and humanity could continue to benefit from his patriotism, wealth of experience and exceptional goodwill
