The governor also spoke candidly about the privileges that came with being the youngest child in the family. "I'm the last born, so I get away with a lot of things," he said with a laugh, adding that the dynamic within the family has never truly changed despite his current position.
He revealed that his elder brother, Dr. Adeleke, still treats him as though he were a child. Rather than taking offence, the governor said he welcomes it, as the relationship carries a deeper emotional meaning for him.
Adeleke said:
"My older brother, Dr. Adeleke, still treats me like a kid. I see him as a father figure because whenever I look at him, I see my father."
The remarks offer a rare glimpse into the private world of one of Nigeria's most high-profile state executives, whose public life has frequently attracted national attention since he assumed office in Osun State.
