Omisore mourns Adeleke
Senator Iyiola Omisore has expressed grief over the sad and sudden demise of the first executive governor of Osun state, Senator Isiaka Adeleke, who he described as an accomplished politician, entrepreneur and philanthropist.
In a condolence message released by his media office in Ile-Ife on Sunday, the former Osun state deputy governor said the late senator representing Osun West senatorial district in the National Assembly would be missed for his philanthropy, diligence and humble lifestyle.
“I received with deep sadness the shocking news of the demise of a political Icon, Senator Isiaka Adeleke. His demise no doubt leaves a void that cannot be easily filled. As a former governor of our dear state and a Senator, his footprints were indeed indelible. His death is a personal loss to me.
Though in a different political party, we both understood the fact that political party is just a platform to serve our people. We worked together in the Nigerian senate with the interest of our state paramount on our minds. It is indeed a dark day,” he said.
He said Adeleke would be remembered as one of the nation’s great men.
While praying Allah to grant the soul of the departed a place in Aljanah Firdaus, Omisore called on his family and associates to take solace in the fact that Adeleke lived a highly impactful life worthy of emulation.
