Friends among whom were Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi, Senator Olubunmi Adetunmbi, Senator Jide Omoworare, Hon Kayode Oladele, Senator Lawal Shuaibu and Senator Opeyemi Bamidele have visited the family of the late Senator Gbenga Aluko at Asokoro in Abuja to condole with the widow, Mrs Sileola Aluko.
The visitors expressed their shock and sadness at the sudden departure of Senator Gbenga Aluko while conveying to the Wife their sincere condolences and that of other friends and his colleagues at the 4th Senate (1999 senators), where he was also a principal officer.
They assured the wife and family of the late Senator continued love and support, as they remain in their thoughts and prayers.
They also prayed that God will uphold the family and all his loved ones and grant them the fortitude and strength to bear this very sad loss.
Importantly, the group stated that Senator Gbenga Aluko selflessly served Nigeria, and was a global citizen, a perfect gentleman, a truly detribalised Nigerian, and a great Nigerian.
“He was unreservedly committed to his people of Ekiti State. We would sadly miss him. May his soul rest in peace and May his memory be a blessing.” the group said.
