Osogbo-born professionals mourn Senator Adeleke

A group of professionals of Osogbo, Osun State extraction at home and in diaspora under the aegis of Osogbo Affairs, have described the sudden death of the first civilian Governor of Osun State, Senator Isiaka Adeleke, as a huge loss to the state and the nation.
In a press statement issued by the group to mark the fidau prayer session of the late Senator holding on Monday (today) and jointly signed by the Conveners – Prince Hameed Oyegbade and Rasheed Bolarinwa – Osogbo Affairs commiserated with the Osun State government and the people of Ede on the tragic incident.
The group also commiserated with members of the National Assembly, especially the Senate, on the death of one of their own from Osun West Senatorial District.
Osogbo Affairs also sent its condolences to the family and friends of the late Senator.
According to the Group: “We also feel a sense of personal loss in Osogbo, as the late Senator was our in-law; and by extension we also commiserate with the Omidiran family of Osogbo from whom the Senator married his second wife.
“Senator Isiaka Adeleke was a gentle and kind-hearted man who had passionately and relentlessly championed the cause of the less privileged and most vulnerable in the state, especially in his constituency.
“The late Senator Adeleke always epitomized unbridled patriotism, maturity and experience. Unfortunately, death took him away at a time the state needed his wealth of experience most.
“The late Senator Adeleke’s contribution to our dear state, as first elected governor, will always be remembered by posterity.”
The Osogbo-born professionals prayed Almighty God will comfort the family and grant the soul of Adeleke eternal rest.
