The outcome of Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State added to a record held by the family of the Adelekes in Nigerian politics.
Following Senator Ademola Adeleke’s victory in the poll, the Adelekes become the first family to produce three senators and two governors in Osun State and in Nigeria as a whole.
