The Osun chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as monstrous blow, the shocking death of Senator Isiaka Adeleke which happened in the early hour of Sunday.
‘Our party is in great sadness and shock because this is a monstrous blow to the APC which will be virtually impossible to overcome in the short run.
‘To imagine that the first civilian governor of the state and two term Senator of the National Assembly who was still vibrantly active until Saturday night has suddenly died is the mother of all shocks that anyone can get, and it hurts beyond measure’, the APC lamented.
In a statement from the party’s Directorate of Publicity, Research and Strategy in Osogbo, and signed by its Director, Kunle Oyatomi, the APC said, ‘we are momentarily shaken and short of words to respond to this tragic event appropriately, except to advise supporters, friends and family to summon courage, (however hard it may be), to pray for and mourn this fallen hero of Nigerian politics in general and Osun State in particular.
The APC therefore called on all citizens of the citizens of the state irrespective of their political affiliation to show solidarity and empathise with the deceased family and the city of Ede where Senator Adeleke was an icon of monumental proportion.
