The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended its activities for the week after David Adeleke, nephew of Governor-elect Ademola Adeleke, lost his son, Ifeanyi.
The Osun PDP caretaker chairman, Adekunle Akindele, in a condolence message to the Adeleke family on Tuesday, described the death of Ifeanyi, son of Davido and Chioma, as a very sad occurrence.
He also directed all party organs and committees to suspend activities in commiseration with the family.
“We mourn the sorrowful exit of our son, Ifeanyi. We pray for the repose of his soul. It is a sad day, but we remain steadfast in our faith in the Lord of the Universe.
“Our condolence goes to Davido, our youth ambassador. We commiserate with our father figure, Dr Deji Adeleke and the entire Adeleke family. We pray the good Lord grant the family the strength to bear this irreparable loss,” the statement concluded.
Ifeanyi died by drowning at his dad’s Banana Island home. He was rushed to Evercare Hospital in Lekki where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The couple had traveled for a family gathering to Ibadan yesterday and had left Ifeanyi with his minders who can’t explain how he entered the pool without being noticed and drowned.
It was also revealed that quite a number of people at Davido’s House when the incident happened have been arrested.
