In his acceptance speech after receiving the certificate at a brief ceremony held at Osun INEC head office in Osogbo, Adeleke dedicated his victory at the poll to the memory of his late elder brother, Senator Isiaka Adeleke and the people of Osun state.

His nephew and ace singer, Davido, Tuesday, queried INEC on the delay of the presentation via his Twitter account.
