“I saw how Dr. Bukola Saraki and many other loyal allies celebrated you, not known to us that you were only biding us farewell and goodbye. Such a style of goodbye was harsh, heart-disturbing and painful, because no one would love to loss such brilliant young-lad like you. We can only pray that, the Almighty Allah, grant the families, the entire PDP members and Kwarans at large the fortitude to bear your loss.”
