Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has mourned the passing of late Pa Alhaji Amedu Aledeh, father of veteran broadcaster and Arise News Anchor, Sulaiman Aledeh, who passed at the age of 80.

“Brave, kindhearted and cerebral, the late Pa Aledeh was virtuous and diligent, which are traits he passed to his children, including the veteran broadcaster and Arise News Anchor, Sulaiman, and all others who learned under his tutelage.”
“He will be remembered for his wise counsel, commitment to excellence, and devotion to noble ideals.”
“I commiserate with the Aledeh family and pray that God grants all the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
