The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has urged the federal government to name the Ilorin International Airport after the late Senator Olusola Saraki.
This followed the adoption of a motion sponsored by the Senate Leader Victor Ndoma-Egba on the death of the Wazirin Ilorin.
In his debate, Ndoma-Egba noted that charismatic personality of the late politician defined the office of the senate leader and gave it character many years after he left the office.
The senate devoted the plenary entirely to eulogise the life of the fromer Senate leader.
The lawmakers described the late Senator Olusola Saraki as “not only an astute politician but the best and most well-known senate leader”.
After the motion was moved by Ndoma-Egba, other senators extolled the virtues of the late politician describing him as “a man of the people”.
The senate, after observing a one minute silence in honour of the late Olusola Saraki, urged the federal government to name the Ilorin International Airport after him.
