"Anyone who knew how the former Asiwaju of Ede, Chief Adetunji Adeleke impacted positively, the lives of People of his hometown, Ede ,Osun State and the entire country, Nigeria ,would have no option than to rejoice with Governor Ademola Jackson Adeleke for his courage in stepping into the shoes of his late brother as the new Asiwaju of Ede land ."
The Oluomo of Inisa, Chief Shuaib Afolabi Oyedokun has noted.
In a statement released by the Oluomo of Inisa, he described the life of the former Asiwaju of Ede as a brilliant testimony and demonstration of the golden thought which says that:" it isn't life that matters but the courage one puts to it ."
"With Chief Adetunji Adeleke, charity also, did not only begin from home , the training he imbibed from his Adeleke Dynasty towards his passion for and sense of pursuing people's welfare, became an undying badge which he wore courageously as he expanded the legacy of good governance to the state and Nigeria in general" He recalled .
"It is therefore along the pleasant metaphor which the traditional chieftaincy title of Asiwaju has exuded in the dynasty, bequeathing worthy heritage from one generation to another, that I am congratulating the Osun State Governor for taking up the mantle as the Asiwaju of Ede." Oyedokun added.
According to him:
It is my prayers that the Governor would brace up to the privileges and challenges which the chieftaincy aptly confers, even towards the progress of the state, not forgetting to do proud the fulcrum , goodwill and platforms upon which he rode to power, particularly the welfare of the commoners which his Dynasty fought for since the days of his father.
The Oluomo of Inisa then commended the Timi of Ede,His royal Majesty, Oba Munirudeen Adesola Lawal as well as his council of chiefs for the great honour done to Governor Adeleke and for their commitment to the advancement of the ancient town and the state in general.
"That this honour is coming at a time the Governor is clocking 64, shows that the new age portends double blessing commensurate with the responsibility of tapping into the wisdom there-from while preparing him graciously for the task a-head ." Oluomo reckoned.
