By Olabode Abolaji

The remains of the former Osun Governor, Senator Isiaka Adeleke has been finally laid to rest in his Ede Country Home on Monday Morning.

The deceased’s body was finally interred according to Islamic rites around 11am this morning.

The burial was carried out amidst tears from sympathizers, friends, family members, political associates as well as those who were touched by his sudden death.

Among those at the burial were the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, Ogun state Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, Ondo state Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu and his predecessor, Olusegun Mimiko among others.

Ede community was hostile to members of the All Progressives Congress who were at the burial as they accused them of having a hand in the death of “DEGOV” as he was fondly called due to his 2018 governorship ambition in the state.

Also, there was no member of the Osun State Executive Council in attendance at the burial.

Meanwhile, the Osun State Government has declared 3 days of mourning over the death of the first civilian governor of the state.

In a statement by the Director, Bureau of Communications and Strategy, Office of the Governor, Semiu Okanlawon, the government directed that flags should be flown at half mast to honour the Late Sen. Adeleke.
