“Iba sepe aiku l’aye, Ara Igbaun da”. Death is inevitable, though, what people will say after ones demise is most essential.
Today would have been a special day for my mentor, father and a political juggernaut, late Senator, Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke as he would have entered septuagenarians age, but alas! death took him away from us, what a pity!
Had it been you’re alive, the air would have rented with clouds as sweet rendition would have occupied their air waves, in commemorating your 70th birthday anniversary.
O ma se o, kokoro Ko je k’agbadun obi to gbo, who are we to query almighty Allah, who giveth and taketh, am particularly pained today, am in sorrow mood, I would have been more joyous had it been you’re alive to witness your septuagenarian age.
Oga mi, oluko mi, alaanu mi, death took you away when your mentorship needed most, you would have be alive today to see wonderful and gigantic developments going on in Osun, your brother, Ademola Adeleke has built and continue building on the good foundations you laid as the first executive governor of Osun state, it’s a pity you don’t live to see the rewards of your good deed.
Your posthumous birthday today, if alive would have been celebrated all over the world, but Allah knows everything as he’s the maker of our souls.
As we mark your 70th posthumous birthday today, I rejoiced, though, in your absential in your good works you have done for the people, legacies of which still living on, I commended your doggedness towards better Osun when alive, which your brother continued, am happy to received tutelage from you when alive, all the lesson taught from you still lived in me and as such, be my guilding tools, you taught me how to be generous and be open minded, the rewards are there for me.
My mentor and father, words are not enough to quantified you, you’re an immeasurable being , thorough bread politicians, your doors are always opened for people, you taught me that, you’re so kind to people, you taught me that, you put people’s first, I taught that from you too, I can not but appreciate you for all what you did for me, continue to rest in the blossom of almighty God till the day of resurrection.
