A unique pedigree that has given Senator Ademola Adeleke the marvelous exposure to the two religions and imbibing of religious tolerance, as well has helped him escape the ethnic bigotry that has bedeviled the Nigerian political landscape.
Consistent with the Adeleke dynasty’s traits; He is a lover of humanity and an ardent crusader of the rights of the downtrodden and empowerment of Nigerian youths as a catalyst to true and sustainable economic development.
