Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki has reacted to the news of the death of an ex-chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Audu Ogbeh.
In a statement released via his social media platform, Saraki described Ogbeh as a man who was deeply rooted in good values.
He said Ogbeh, a former minister of Agriculture was one of Nigeria’s rare public figures.
According to Saraki, Nigeria has lost a voice of reason following the death of the former minister.
His words, “Chief Audu Ogbeh, former Chairman of the PDP and Minister of Agriculture, was one of the rare public figures whose words carried the weight of integrity.
“In his work and my encounters with him, I saw a man deeply rooted in good values and genuinely concerned for the interests of the people he served. Our nation has lost a voice of reason and a heart of service,” Saraki said.
The former Senate President also condoled with the family of the late Ogbeh and prayed for God to comfort them.
“I extend my condolences to his wife, children, the entire Ogbeh family, and all who mourn his passing.
“May the Almighty grant them the strength and fortitude to bear this great and irreparable loss,” Saraki added.
