A group identifying as “Okun children” from the Kogi West Senatorial District in Nigeria have expressed their strong support for Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke, a Member of the House of Representatives representing the Ikeja Federal Constituency in Lagos State and Chairman of the House Committee on Finance.
In a political climate often perceived as characterized by opportunism, the group highlights Faleke’s perceived loyalty and gratitude towards the President of Nigeria, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. They emphasize Faleke’s commitment to Tinubu, contrasting it with what they describe as a trend of others abandoning those who supported their rise.
The group asserts that Faleke’s dedication stems from personal conviction and principle, rather than political calculation. They further state that he continues to contribute to the development and serves as an inspiration for the people of Kogi State, particularly the Okun community.
The statement concludes by portraying Faleke as embodying key democratic values: service, sacrifice, loyalty, and a lasting legacy
