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.
A statement issued by presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, in Abuja on Sunday, said President Buhari has sent his condolences to the family and friends of the gentle and kind hearted former Governor of Osun State “who had passionately and relentlessly championed the cause of the less privileged and most vulnerable in Nigeria.”
It expressed the President’s belief that 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 affirmed that Adeleke’s contribution to his state, as first elected governor, and the country will always be remembered by posterity.
He prayed that the Almighty God will grant the soul of the departed eternal rest, and comfort the family.
