Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has revealed that he visited the grave of his late brother, Senator Isiaka Adeleke, prior to voting in the recent elections. This visit, he explained, was intended to seek spiritual support and emotional strength from his deceased sibling before heading to the polls.

In a heartfelt disclosure, Adeleke shared that he consulted his late brother's spirit, asking for prayers to bolster his confidence as he prepared to cast his ballot. He emphasized that this act was not a ritualistic one, but rather a deeply personal gesture aimed at providing him with a psychological boost on election day.

Senator Isiaka Adeleke, who was the first civilian governor of Osun State, passed away in April 2017. His legacy continues to influence his brother's political journey, with Ademola often reflecting on the significant impact Isiaka had on his life and career. The governor's visit to the grave underscores the emotional connection he maintains with his brother, highlighting the importance of family bonds in the political landscape.

Adeleke's actions resonate with many who view the act of seeking guidance from departed loved ones as a source of strength during significant life events. As he approached the polling unit, the governor expressed that the visit was a way to honor his brother's memory while also seeking a sense of reassurance in his own political endeavors.
