Adeleke bags chieftaincy title, dedicates it to late brother

 

Gov. Ademola Adeleke of Osun on Monday bagged the Asiwaju of Edeland chieftaincy title, dedicating it to his late brother, Sen. Isiaka Adeleke, among others.

The governor, receiving the title in Oshogbo, said it was also dedicated to his late parents; his brother, Dr Adedeji Adeleke; and his sister, Chief Dupe Adeleke-Sanni.

He said that his late brother, Isiaka, was the former holder of the title, and the conferment on him was a further call to service.

“I vow to be a frontliner (Asiwaju) of development and growth for Edeland and Osun state as a whole.

“I will carry the light of positive transformation from towns to villages and from cities to rural areas across our dear state,” he said.

The event attracted several dignitaries, including Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos; his Ogun counterpart, Dapo Abiodun; and Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo; the acting Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, Umar Damagum; and former governor of Oyo State, Rasheed Ladoja, among others, also witnessed the conferment.

Makinde, who spoke on behalf of the governors, congratulated Adeleke on the conferment of the title.

He commended him on infrastructure development in the state.
