James Abiodun Faleke
A serving member of the House of Representatives from Lagos, representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, Honourable James Abiodun Faleke, has been favoured to emerge deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Kogi State
governorship election coming up in December. The choice of Faleke, reports have it, was a unanimous decision among party leaders and the governorship candidate of the party for the election, Alhaji Abubakar Audu.
Faleke, a two-term member and Chairman of the House Committee on Ethics, Anti-corruption and National Values in the Seventh Assembly, was also former two time chairman of Ojodu Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Lagos State as well as an ex-Chairman of Conference 57, umbrella organisation for the chairmen of the 20 local governments and 37 LCDAs in Lagos State.
He has emerged as one of the younger elements of committed party members thus an integral member of the engine room of the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Faleke has undertaken several assignments for the party and came out with flying colours, the most recent being his sterling performance as the Coordinator of the Lagos Office of the Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Organisation.
Highlight of his role then was the organisation of a walk-to-freedom programme, where hundreds of thousands of party supporters and members including the current Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo; Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; the Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola; Senator Oluremi Tinubu among others participated.
In 2011, Faleke was also in the trenches in Kogi State campaigning and working for Audu who was then governorship candidate of the former Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
