Our attention has been drawn to a viral video on YouTube made by one self-aclaimed Balogun Eko whose roots and lineage is obscured. His character is highly questionable and enmessed in dirty dealings over the years. His full names are Abisoye Oyeyemi Oshodi. In the video which was related in Yoruba he referred to the empowerment items shown in this post given to Ikeja Constituents by Hon James Abiodun Faleke as Pangolo (Rubbish cans). He went further to curse all political leaders in Lagos and asked Hon Faleke to take "those things" to Kogi State.
Yoruba says if you were sent an errand as a slave or a bastard, you should be able to deliver such as a real born (Ti a ba ran ni nise eru, a fi ti Omo je!). It was very obvious you were sent on a slavery duty and you delivered to the letter by behaving more like a slave.
To put the record straight, Hon Faleke has delivered beyond any Member of the House of Rep, not only in Lagos State but Nigeria. On a monthly basis, there are trainings and workshops for all categories of Constituents, ranging from Party members, community leaders, Voter's, student of different categories, artisans, market women and men who are granted with equipment and cash to improve on their existing projects or a start grant if new without discrimination.
Over 60000 people have benefitted in the various empowerment program.
In year 2024, 440 members have been trained in agricultural business with a start grant of seventy five thousand naira ( #75000) only. Another 105 people have started another training today February 13-14, and will be granted nothing less than #100,000 each.
Over 600 mini buses (Korope) generally used in Lagos today have been given out by this unusual Rep member. Over 300 Marwa (Keke NAPEP) have been given out to Constituents without expecting a return by a turn to a new life by the beneficiaries.
These are just but to mention a few which prompted all the traditional leaders to give Hon Faleke a chieftaincy title of "Koseleri" ----Unprecedented---, " the ATUNLUSHE AKORODE (Community image maker and breeder of good tidings). Hon Faleke, a two term chairman of a Local Government has the opportunity to represent Ikeja at the HoR for 4th term breaking jinx of many years of a single term for Reps members.
Our fake Balogun Eko, please show us your REP Member and his score card. We have about 24 representatives representing Lagos in the National Assembly, but you deemed it fit to single out one for condemnation. We understand your language and where you are coming from as well as your goals and those who sent you.
You have all failed ab initio....
Hon Faleke remain focused, unpertubed and ready to deliver more even beyond Ikeja Federal Constituency. Iree oooo.
Hon Aladeyelu Adebayo Azeez, is a former councilor and Supervisor in OJODU LCDA where Hon Faleke served as Chairman. Hon Aladeyelu is currently the General Secretary of FORUM OF PAST COUNCILORS IN IKEJA FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY.
