A TRIBUTE TO LATE ABUBAKAR OLUSOLA SARAKI CC @BUKOLASARAKI When the sad news of the demise of the prime mover of the Kwara politics was broken to the general public through Radio Kwara announcement by the state government, precisely two (2) years ago the reality dawned on Kwarans that the great Waziri had passed on. Nigerians, both the highly and’ the lowly placed from tile presidency to the proletariat have mourned inconsolably; Inconsolat because of the gravity of the loss to humanity. It is doubtful if the political class could easily forget the politic kingpin of consensus politics. It is hardly possible if the followers of “BABA SARAKI” could easily forget the great leader who had meant much hope to them. It is a painful struggle for the youths, orphans, widows and poor in the s tate for them to think of the death of their role model. The death that took our father, the second republic senate leader away has created a big vacuum and unleashed so much sorrow in t , land that psychological balms cannot heal. However, thank God, a two terms governor of Kwara State, DR ABUBAKAR BUKOLA SARAKI has prove to be a good calipher of the leader. This is because of the great worth of the great leader who came the world, endured pains to rise and used the proceed of his toiling to serve humanity. However, one is compelled to console all moumejs that the death is the last of all mankind and that it will come when it would come. Prophet Noah spent 90 year on earth, yet he died. Prophet Shuaib spent 1,000 years, yet he also died. Other notable prophets Almighty God were also not spared by death. This is why it is incumbent on all on earth to have it at the back of their mind that no matter how highly placed or insignificant they are, death would take them home one day. This shows and witness to the words of Almighty God that – “It’s from Him everything comes and to Him everything shall all return Our solace is in the useful and selfless life that “6aba” lived. A prince of peace and an outstanding’ politician, DR. ABUBAKAR -OLUSOLA SARAKI dedicated his Iife,Jq,the service of the people. He was a good friend of the commoners who wiped tears from the faces of grieve- stricken folks. The great Waziri of Ilorin takes an unequal credit for the political, economic and social transformation of Kwara State. He was a rallying point in the unity of Nigeria;- a role moderl and my political mentor. He was one outstanding politician and leader who saw politics as a means of selfless service to all human kind. Late DR ABUBAKAR OLUSOLA SARAKI worked patiently and tirelessly day and night during his life time to see the political philosophy he developed cascade upthe ‘ladder of political system in the country. He ‘leaved the principles of democracy with conventional wisdom and in the process added African values to it. Our great leader also sowed’ love, affection and communalism among various communities in the country, particularly in Kwara State. Through his prodding and political tutoring, he sensitized the grassroot folks into appreciating the values of modern political concept fitted into grassroot terrain. The indomitable, great and ever generous DR ABUBAKAR OLUSOLA SARAKI, we say adieu and ‘pray the Almighty Allah to grant you Aljannat Fridous. Amen
