Reports reaching us indicate that Olusola Saraki, the
strongman of Kwara politics, is dead. He was 79.
Dr. Saraki, Leader of the Nigerian Senate during the
second republic, died this morning in Lagos.
His son, Bukola Saraki, could not be reached, but another
family member confirmed the development to reporters.
Mr. Saraki controlled the politics of Kwara State for
about two decades until he was displaced as kingmaker by his son, Bukola, a
serving senator, in the 2011 general elections.
Details later…
