family sources and one of his colleagues have confirmed to
Noisy gists blog.
Mr. Adeleke, aged 62, died Sunday morning at a hospital in
Osogbo, the Osun State capital, hours after he engaged in a
political meeting which terminated late Saturday.
Until his death, Mr. Adeleke chaired the Senate committee on
capital market.
He was in the Senate for the second time, having first represented
Osun West between 2007 and 2011 on the platform of the Peoples
Democratic Party.
He could not return to the Senate in 2011, after he was defeated
by Mudashiru Hussein of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria.
But in 2014, after a failed governorship bid, he defected to the All
Progressives Congress which sponsored him to contest the 2015
Osun West senatorial election which he won to earn a second time
in the Senate.
Mr. Adeleke became the first elected Governor of Osun State in
1991 on the platform of the Social Democratic Party.
He sponsored a bill to protect whistleblowers and security
informants…”
