Chief (Mrs.) Florence Morenike Saraki, a member of the prominent Ibidapo family in Owo, Ondo State, was married to Dr Abubakar Olusola Saraki for many years until his death in 2012, at the age of 79. The union produced four children: Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki who became Governor of Kwara State and later President of the Senate of the Federal Republic, Senator Ruqayyah Gbemisola Saraki who served for 12 years in the National Assembly and now Minister of State, Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, Mrs. Fatimah Temitope Edu, a legal practitioner, and businesswoman as well as Mr. Mutair Laolu Saraki who was one time Special Assistant to late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. Today, the Saraki family stands tall as one of the only two Nigerian nuclear families to have produced three senators each. The other family is the Adeleke Family from Osun State. However, while the Saraki family has put in over 20 years in the service of the Nigerian Senate and governance, the Adeleke family has put in about 12 years.
A Happy 88th Birthday to Chief Mrs Florence Morenike Saraki.
