The Senate President state this in a press statement issued by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu on Friday in Abuja.
Saraki described the demise of the lawmaker as a very sad event.

“His selflessness and patriotic services to his people both as a local government boss, Special Adviser to the Lagos State Government and lastly, a federal lawmaker attest to Oluwatayo’s highly impactful but brief sojourn on the earthly plane. May his soul rest in peace,” he said.
He said Saraki commiserated with the immediate family of the late lawmaker, the people of Ifako/Ijaiye Federal Constituency, his colleagues in the House of Representatives and the Lagos State government over the sad loss.
