” The history of Osun State would be incomplete without reference to his indelible contributions to the State’s development at social, political and economic levels when he served as its first elected Governor and a legislator.

“With the death of Senator Adeleke, Nigeria has indeed lost an illustrious son whose wealth of experience was still needed as the present administration works to restore the country to path of progress,” he said.

Ndoma-Egba, however, said he is consoled by the fact that the late Adeleke lived an accomplished and impactful life.

He prayed the Almighty God to give the late Adeleke eternal rest and the family, the strength to bear the great loss.
