This particular day stands out for me because it is also a similitude of the day of the birth of Hon James Abiodun Faleke, a boss and a good man, a true and a detribalized Nigerian, a quintessential politician and a professional of no mean repute whose passion for and faith in the future of Nigeria as a greater and better nation stands unrivalled.
Anyone who knows the man and his extra-ordinary vision, spirit and dreams for our dear country will without doubt see the pleasant coincidence between his birthday and Christmas. Hon Faleke life and professional strides deserve deep respect and his birthday, is worth celebrating, at least, for those of us who know him and his values.
Today, 25th December 2025, Faleke gains an additional year of a life distinguished by humane principles, refined values and remarkable achievements.
Hon James Abiodun Faleke, a Nigerian member of the federal house of representative currently in the 10th National Assembly on behalf of Ikeja federal constituency is a man distinguished by his goodness of character and uncommon political philosophy of value addition.
As a political leader, Faleke has through his commitment to causes that seeks to advance human happiness and his effective prowess in influencing the context in which developments could be evolved and sustained as vividly demonstrated during his stint as the secretary of the Presidential campaign council and in the house of representative where he has been a voice of reckoning stands him out as a dependable ally of the people. For all that Hon Faleke signifies both as a person and a political figure, his birthdays remain symbolic.
To be honest, I don’t think birthdays is such a big deal for the amiable member for it is not known exactly when he was in the news over a birthday bash despite his verve and vivacity. In a general sense, birthdays whether hugely celebrated, solemnly marked or ignored give one the picture of a life.
As often said, a birthday means a different thing to different people. Birthdays carry several and varied connotations but all are emotionally determined. It is reminiscent of the day that one is delivered into a whole new world of wonder and uncertainties, the tides and storms of human existence. Whoever, we regard a birthday, birthdays are important in our lives as it either rekindles the flames of our aspiration, or refocus our gaze into deep horizon of life. By and large, a birthday is truly measured on the basis of the impacts the life it bears makes in our society.
Hon Faleke birthday is a day that bore a life of positive impacts for he is not only a great man but a good man whose dedication to service is exceptionally outstanding. Faleke is one man who in both his personal and public life is relentlessly committed to finding innovative solutions to the most difficult challenges of the day.
In congress, Faleke has ever passionately fought for the causes of the people of his Ikeja federal constituents and the vast majority of vulnerable Nigerians. He has sponsored and lend voice to a variety of bills which have been enacted into law. In an era of change where prudence and probity are the rule of engagement, he is providing a principles leadership as the house committee chairman on finance, using his skills and talents in forging consensus and reaching compromise without sacrificing his core values.
With legislative interests that chiefly cover banking, customs insurance and other financial institution, Hon Faleke never missed plenary and is one of the Nigerian house of representative leading lights. He is presently the house committee chairman on finance.
A recipient of several professional and meritorious awards. Faleke has attracted an attractive array of direct impact projects to his constituents. These include healthcare centre, boreholes, electrical infrastructure, tube wells and irrigation pumps, etc.
In the 2027 general election we are calling on him to signified interest to be the governor of Kogi state and quite naturally, if that happened, he would have turned out a square peg in a square hole and It is hopefully expected that his birthday today will offer a reflection and a reliable guide to politicians aspiring to be relevant like Hon James Abiodun Faleke , to the national life .It will as well avail enthusiastic Patriots with possible insights and background on what makes Hon Faleke still relevant and special in the political scene of the country.
On a personal note, Hon Faleke, I wish you all the very best in the future, particularly, in these this times, when all the reforms of the President is yielding positive results . On behalf of myself and other friends, the prayers are that God keeps you healthy, happy and fulfilled always; and the country keeps getting your valuable services. Happy Birthday, Most Hon Abiodun Faleke.
