Former Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, has asserted that billionaire businessman Deji Adeleke, the father of music star Davido, holds the real power in Osun State, rather than Governor Ademola Adeleke.
In an interview regarding state affairs with Edmund Obilo, Adesiyan claimed that Deji Adeleke is the genuine authority behind the state government, referring to him as the “true governor” of Osun.
“Deji Adeleke is the governor. Who is Ademola Adeleke? Can he truly become governor?” Adesiyan remarked. “Deji is the one in control.”
He further noted that Deji Adeleke has long had a significant influence in Osun politics, even during the time of his brother, the late Senator Isiaka Adeleke.
“I served under his brother when he was in office. I was aware of the influence Deji had over his elder brother,” Adesiyan added.
According to him, Deji Adeleke is a formidable businessman and “a capitalist to the core,” whose influence, he asserted, permeates deeply into the political framework of the state.
