Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed condolences to the late Demola Seriki’s family, friends, and colleagues. Seriki died on Thursday morning.
Nigeria’s ambassador to the Kingdom of Spain died this morning. His death was announced today in a brief statement signed and released by his family. Atiku expressed his feelings about the demise of the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in a Twitter post. Atiuk stated:
“On behalf of my family and team, I express my deepest condolences over the loss of Nigeria’s ambassador to the Kingdom of Spain, His Excellency Ademola Rasaq Seriki. Amb. Seriki was a patriot who served the country meritoriously in different capacities.
“He was a consummate politician whose genteel mannerism bore a distinctive trademark in all assignments he undertook. May his sins be forgiven, and may Allah grant him Aljannah Firdaus.” Seriki’s children had noted that their father died in Madrid, Spain in the early hours of the day. “It is with heavy hearts and profound gratitude to Almighty Allah that we announce the loss of our much loved and admired patriarch, husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend,” the statement reads.
