Dr Ahmad who said the former Speaker would be remembered for his principle, tenacity of purpose humility and modest contributions to parliamentary democracy, enjoined Nigerians to emulate his sterling qualities to further strengthen the nation' s parliamentary democracy.

He said Barrister Sadik passed on "when his wealth of experience and wisdom were greatly needed to fashion a new Constitution, that would further stabilize the nation's hard won democracy".

Dr Ahmad consoled the Emir of Ilorin, Dr Ibrahim Zulu Gambari, his immediate family and the entire people of Ilorin Emirate over" the demise of the great patriot and enjoined them to take solace in the fact that the former Speaker, lived a life worthy of emulation by all and sundry.
