Activist Lauds Faleke’s ‘Father And Mother’ Of All Empowerments For Constituents

Honorable James Faleke who represents the Ikeja Federal Constituency of Lagos State in the House of Representatives has received generous commendations from a human rights and opposition activist, Comrade Mark Adebayo, for what he described as “a father and mother of all empowerments”.

Sharing his views with newsmen shortly after an event hosted by Civil Society Roundtable in Abuja, Adebayo said “Irrespective of different political affiliations, when a public official discharges the responsibilities demanded of his office so creditably, he deserves to be acknowledged and encouraged to do more. Politics aside, what we witnessed yesterday in Lagos authoritatively qualifies as the father and mother of all economic empowerments ever witnessed in this country. It was humongous in scale, far-reaching in coverage, humane in conception, and sustainable in design. It was a demonstration of leadership in its highest form.

“In a country where extreme selfishness dominates the public service space with many politicians involved in a rate race of primitive accumulation, Honorable James Faleke has proven that there are politicians who put the people first in all that they do. Seeing those thousands of economic empowerment tools, cars, buses, sewing machines, utility tricycles, motorbikes, grinding machines, etc, being distributed to my people yesterday by someone who represents me at the National Assembly was not only encouraging but also reassuring.

“He has been known for doing this for decades, but the one witnessed yesterday was unprecedented by any known standards across this country. That was hope renewed and campaign promises over-delivered. When they don’t do well, we criticise them, but when they deliver in such an outstanding fashion, let’s celebrate and encourage them”.
