Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke, the ranking lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, marked his 66th birthday on Christmas Day with prayers and acts of charity.
The Chairman of the House Committee on Finance, who recently returned to legislative duties after a period of medical leave, opted for a quiet and reflective celebration. The occasion was marked by prayers and the distribution of food items and other support to over 10,000 families across his constituency, underscoring his longstanding commitment to grassroots welfare.
The celebration was further highlighted by a surprise courtesy visit from Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu.
Sharing photographs from the visit on Friday morning, Bayo Ayo, Chief of Staff to the federal lawmaker, wrote on his Facebook page: “Celebrating with my principal, Hon. James Abiodun Faleke, yesterday on his birthday — and guess who dropped by for a surprise visit? Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu showed up to surprise the birthday boy.”
The visit added a symbolic touch to what was otherwise a low-key celebration, reflecting both goodwill and mutual respect between the federal lawmaker and the Lagos State Governor.
