My father was killed because of his gov ambition – Adeleke’s son

Tunji, one of the children of the first civilian Governor of Osun State, Senator Isiaka Adeleke , has alleged that his father , who was preparing to contest in the 2018 governorship election in the state was killed.

Although he did not state how he was killed, he said Adeleke , who was also the senator representing Osun- West at the Senate until his death, was killed by some forces because he stood a good chance of emerging the governor of the state again.

Tunji, who said this in a snapchat on Tuesday, said that some persons , who he did not name, eliminated his dad because they considered him a big threat to their ambition ahead of the next year election .

He said it was curious that his father , who was hale and hearty on Saturday preceding his sudden death and was awake till around 2 am on Sunday morning, could die a few hours later without showing any sign of sickness .

Tunji believed that his dad was killed by those who were jealous of his influence and money which he said they wanted by all means .

His claim was not different from the position of many of Adeleke’ s supporters , who said that their benefactor was poisoned at one of the social functions he attended within the state on Saturday.
