Afrobeat star Davido and his father Adedeji Adeleke on Sunday attended a thanksgiving service at the headquarters of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Lagos in memory of Esther Adeleke.
Esther (nee Akpara) hailed from Akwete, Ukwa East Local Government Area of Abia State. She was the founder of a C&S church in Ede, Osun State.
She was known as senior mother-in-Israel of the church, the same title presently held by her daughter, Modupe Adeleke-Sanni.
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke also attended the much delayed thanksgiving service.
In his short remarks, Adeleke affirmed his faith in God and his determination to use all available platforms to praise and worship the creator of heaven and earth.
Amidst songs of praise and dance by guests and congregation, the governor recounted the many divine favours of God on the Adeleke family, his life and his successes so far as governor.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his Ogun State counterpart Dapo Abiodun attended the thanksgiving programme.
Others who joined the Adeleke family were Osun State Deputy Governor Kola Adewusi; wives of Governor Adeleke, Titilayo Adeleke and Ngozi Adeleke; chief of staff to Governor Adeleke, Kazeem Akinleye; House Speaker, Adewale Egbedun; head of service, Ayanleye Aina; members of the State House of Assembly; members of the state executive council; and media entrepreneur, Dele Momodu.
