Fayemi Laments About Senator’s Death

Minister of Mines and Steel Development Dr Kayode Fayemi has commiserated with the family of Senator Isiaka Adeleke on the passing of the colourful politician.

Fayemi, in a condolence message signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Mr Yinka Oyebode, described the news of the death as shocking and sad.

He described the late Adeleke as a highly resourceful and colourful politician; a grassroots mobiliser, who related well with the low and the mighty.

“Senator Adeleke’s death is both shocking and saddening. He was a leader, who was well-loved and respected by his people because he was ever in touch with them and identified with their aspirations,” Fayemi said.

”In spite of his privileged background, Senator Adeleke made the masses the focus of his political activities, through which he earned their admiration and massive support. Through this, he taught a lesson in political tolerance and in putting the people first.

“Nigeria has indeed lost a star, a committed patriot and strategic team player in the Nigerian project.

“Only God knows why he had to go at this time and we can only submit to God’s will and appreciate him for the good life Senator Adeleke lived, even as we pray that God grants his soul eternal rest and his family, the fortitude to bear the loss,” the statement added.
