Osun Governor Adeleke Calls Son’s Bride Perfect Match, Thanks Adio Family At Traditional Wedding
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, moved guests with a heartfelt speech at the traditional wedding of his son, Gbolahan, and bride, Damilola Adio, held last weekend in Lagos.
A video of his remarks went viral on Tuesday, showing the governor reflecting on fatherhood, love, and the journey that led to his son finding the right partner.
Adeleke recounted his long conversations with Gbolahan about marriage, noting that his son often joked he was still “testing” potential partners. Over the years, he observed Gbolahan’s relationships closely and realized they shared similar tastes in women.
“I always knew the women he brought home before weren’t his match,” Adeleke said. “But the day he brought Damilola home, I hugged him and knew he had found the one.”
He also expressed gratitude to the bride’s family for welcoming his son and entrusting Damilola to the Adeleke family.
“Adio family, all the calls, the trips to London, all the efforts to introduce ourselves and seek your approval—it led to this day. My son had been testing, but the moment he introduced Damilola, I knew it was right,” Adeleke said.
The governor concluded by celebrating the union and promising to care for Damilola. “This is the day the Lord has made, and we rejoice. We thank you for letting us marry your daughter, and we will take care of her,” he said.
The ceremony highlighted the bond between the Adeleke and Adio families and drew widespread attention online for its warmth and emotion.
