President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with Osun State Government and members of the National Assembly on the passing away of Sen. Isiaka Adeleke on Sunday.
Buhari in his condolences to the family and friends Adeleke said the gentle and kind hearted former Governor of Osun State had worked passionately and relentlessly championed the cause of the less privileged and most vulnerable in Nigeria.
According to the statement issued by Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity), Femi Adesina, the President believes the sudden loss of the legislator will create a gap in the hallowed red chamber as “Adeleke had always epitomized unbridled patriotism, maturity and experience, especially with his recent interest in the protection of whistle blowers”.
President Buhari affirms that Adeleke’s contribution to his state, as first elected governor, and the country will always be remembered by posterity.
