Peoples Democratic Party, the Action Congress of Nigeria and the All Nigeria Peoples Party lamented the death of Dr. Olusola Saraki on Wednesday.
The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, likened the death to the gradual extinction of those it called the “last of the Mohegians”.
The PDP said, “Here was a fine medical doctor, philanthropist, humanist and an astute politician. Here, most importantly was a game-changer, a man who changed the destiny of his people. Like the great Zik of Africa, like Ahmadu Bello and like Awo, he was.”
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the ACN described Saraki as “a colossus who possessed an efficient political machinery that he used effectively to rally the people”.
It said, “Any politician who ignored him in his lifetime did so at his own peril, and only the casualties of his deft political manoeuvring can appreciate his clinical political efficiency.”
National Chairman of the ANPP, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, said Saraki played a resilient pioneering role which helped in building a great party.
He said, “He was a consensus builder whose warm disposition to all, advanced peace and harmony among our members. By his death, we have lost a tireless pathfinder and a timeless fence mender.”
