The lawmaker celebrates Hon. James Abiodun Falake, described him as a man with all round of positive impact, that has positively transformed the political, economic and developmental landscape of Ojodu, Ikeja Lagos and Nigeria as a whole.
In his words, “Happy birthday to my EGBON, your story is that of Joseph who became a Prime Minister in a Foreign land. You were born and brought up in Okunland at Ekinrin precisely now known as Ekirin-Ade in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State but through God’s grace from obscurity to limelight in far away Lagos and you were noticed by our political father and Leader President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR in his days as Governor of Lagos as an instrument of vessel on to honour who can be used positively to transform the political, economic and developmental landscape of Ojodu Local Council Development Area which eventually threw you up as someone who can further represent a larger area and that led to your election into House of Representatives since 2011 and God has been faithful you never disappointed the people of Ikeja Federal Constituency which led you to being elected four(4) times as Member House of Representatives to represent the capital city of Lagos”.
“My political association with you started in 2015 when you came from Lagos to be running mate to our late political leader in Kogi State, Prince Abubakar Audu that death took away after our victory and since then we have worked together to liberate our people in Kogi State”.
My prayer is that, as you celebrate 65 years you will celebrate more years in good health, wisdom and prosperity.
Happy Birthday To You Sir
