He said the deceased served the state meritoriously, and was reputed for contributing meaningfully to the development of the state.
“On behalf of my wife, the government and good people of Ekiti State, I commiserate with the children and immediate family members of Chief Diran Adesua on the death of this illustrious son of Ekiti.
“Though his death is shocking and sad, we are consoled by the impactful life he lived as a community leader, distinguished professional and politician.
