Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State has said popular singer, Davido’s father, Dr. Deji Adeleke may have gone mad because of the death of his brother, Senator Isiaka Adeleke. Aregbesola said this in Ede on Wednesday at the campaign of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the Osun West Senatorial District by-election holding on Saturday. Aregbesola denies owing the Adelekes money.
Reacting to allegations that he owed Deji Adeleke money, the governor said he did not borrow any money from him at anytime, saying it was the Adelekes that had been collecting money from him.

His words: “Deji Adeleke is a businessman, he is not a politician but it is like his brother’s death has run him mad.” (O dabi pe iku egbon e ti da lori ru). It is a lie that I borrowed money from Deji, it is to the glory of God that they got the Certificate of Occupancy of their university from our government. Why didn’t those who are their new friends give them C of O of that university? If Deji Adeleke had so much money, why did he beg me to waive the payable tax of his university? Why couldn’t he just pay?”

Speaking further, Aregbesola said political office was not by inheritance, saying if it was so, Bola Ige family would have been ruling the state.
“I am bold enough to say this over and over again, because I have never sought assistance from any member of the Adeleke family, even during the lifetime of Senator Isiaka Adeleke. Nothing of such occurred.

“My relationship with the late Adeleke was cordial and beyond politics because we had known each other even before Osun politics, because our residences were adjacent to each other in Lagos State,” the governor added.
