The family trajectory in fishing excellent service to Osun people started with Raji Adeleke, the late patriarch of the family. He is the one who had two wives, the first was an indigene of the state whilst the second wife is Igbo. This second wife birthed Isiaka, Tajudeen, Modupe and Nurudeen for Raji Adeleke.
The father ventured into politics and was elected a Senator in the Second Republic under the Senate Presidentship of Olusola Saraki. That's the convergence point for the tight friendship between the Adelekes and Sarakis especially, between Bukola Saraki, former Senate president, and Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke, current governor of Osun.
