August 19, (THEWILL) – In memory of his late mother, Nnenna Esther Adeleke and in appreciation of God’s blessings in his life, Governor Ademola Adeleke, on Sunday, attended the much-delayed thanksgiving service at the headquarters of the Cherubim and Seraphim church, Lagos, praising divine grace in the making of his governorship of Osun State.
The governor’s mother was a Senior Mother-in-Israel of the church, the same title presently held by the Governor’s sister, Yeyeluwa Modupe Adeleke-Sanni.
The governor, who had always affirmed his faith in God through praise worship in churches and mosques was also conferred with a senior church title long before his assumption of governorship in recognition of his deep service to God and humanity.
In his short remarks, he affirmed his undiluted faith in God and his determination to use all available platforms to praise and worship the creator of heaven and earth.
Amidst songs of praise and dance by guests and congregation, the governor recounted the many divine favours of God on the Adeleke family, his life and his successes so far as governor, announcing his ever faithfulness to the creator of heaven and earth.
Meanwhile, the elder brother of the Osun State Governor, Dr Adedeji Adeleke, donated N1 billion to the Centenary Endowment Fund of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church.
The senior Adeleke, who is the Chairman, Pacific Group, announced the donation at the thanksgiving service.
The Baba Aladura and Prelate of ESOCS Church Worldwide, Dr David Bob-Manuel, had earlier announced that the church will be 100 years old by 2025.
Those who honoured the governor and his family at the thanksgiving service were the Governors of Lagos and Ogun States, Babajide Sanwo-olu and Dapo Abiodun. Others were the Deputy Governor, Prince Kola Adewusi; matriarch of the Adeleke family, Yeyeluwa Dupe Adeleke; the wives of the Governor- Her Excellencies, Titilayo Adeleke and Ngozi Adeleke; the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Hon Kazeem Akinleye; global music icon, David Adeleke (Davido); House Speaker, Prince Adewale Egbedun; the Deputy Speaker, Hon Ireyode; the Head of Service, Elder Ayanleye Aina; members of the State House of Assembly; members of the State Executive Council; media entrepreneur, Dele Momodu and other top business and political friends of the governor.
