Osun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has said that the traditional title being conferred on His Excellency, Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke by His Royal Majesty, Oba Munirudeen Adesola Lawal, Laminisa 1, the Timi of Ede is home front validation of leadership prowess of the Governor buoyed by his open heartedness.

The PDP also acknowledged the overwhelming support the governor has received around the world on what the state PDP Chairman, Hon Sunday Bisi described as a lifetime birthday gift, as further prove of unprecedented popularity of Governor Ademola Adeleke among well meaning Nigerians, home and abroad.

It should be noted that as part of activities marking the 64th birthday anniversary of Governor Ademola Adeleke, the Ede traditional council in a no objection resolution, conferred on His Excellency, the title of ASIWAJU OF EDE LAND. The title being the highest traditional honor often reserved for men of implacable standing in the history packed community.

The traditional honor was last bestowed on the elder brother of the governor, late Asiwaju Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke. He was himself a former Governor and the first democratically elected chief executive of the state.

The PDP described Governor Ademola Adeleke as an extraordinary gift to humanity, whose friendly carriage is loud enough to inspire the world into simplicity in the divine art of greatness.

“ASIWAJU Ademola Adeleke has become a goldfish with no place to hide and we are glad His Excellency is living this naturally ahead of time”

“It is one thing to be blessed with natural regalia of leadership, it is another thing to be conscious of the calling. It is also another thing to choose what to do with such rare gift in the competing world of egocentrism. We are happy Mr Governor appreciates the divine blessings in his life.

We are indeed proud on this day, to be called by the name of our great leader, Asiwaju Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke. The world is blessed to have you and we are also part of that world”

We once again congratulate our people in Ede, especially the traditional council headed by Kabiyesi, Oba Munirudeen Adesola Lawal for honoring a prophet in his own land.

We align ourselves with everyone who accepts the fact that great men should be called great in their life time and should also be honored as such.

On behalf of the State Working Committee of the PDP, we congratulate His Excellency on this historic attainment just as we wish him a memorable birthday.
