Following the passing of Ifeanyi, the son of David Adeleke (Davido), the nephew of the incoming governor Ademola Adeleke, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun on Tuesday announced the suspension of its political operations.
Adekunle Akindele, the caretaker chairman of the party in the state, made this statement in an Osogbo condolence message and instructed all party organs and committees to halt operations in solidarity with the family.
He called the incident "a really sad occurrence."
“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 condolences go 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,” he said.
Master Ifeanyi was said to have drowned in a swimming pool at the singer’s residence in the Banana Island area of Lagos on Monday.
The police command in Lagos said eight domestic staff of the singer had been brought in for questioning over the tragic incident.
The command’s spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this on Tuesday.
