Kwara ACN leader Mohammed Dele Belgore SAN has said Nigeria has lost a politician
who touched the lives of many people and whose contributions would be debated for
years to come.

Belgore, who was ACN governorship candidate in the 2011 poll, was reacting to the
death Wednesday morning of Second Republic Senate Leader, Dr Olusola Saraki.

Belgore was among the early callers at the Ikoyi residence of the late politician on
Wednesday morning.

Belgore's media aide, Rafiu Ajakaye, issued a condolence statement quoting the
lawyer as saying: "We are saddened by the sudden death of our father, Abubakar
Olusola Saraki who passed away today. No doubt, Nigeria has lost a political giant.

"He was a man who touched the lives of many people and whose contributions would be debated for years to come especially in Kwara where he was the dominant figure for over four decades.

"We condole with the family and friends, and pray the Almighty Allah to grant him
eternal rest."
