Chief Olu Falae lost his son, Deji Falae, on
Thursday 3rd October in the Associated Airline
plane which crashed shortly after take-off.
The former Secretary to the Federal
Government said he lost a political successor
in his son. Deji, who was the Commissioner for
Culture and Tourism in Ondo State, led the
state government’s delegation to accompany
the corpse of former Ondo State governor,
Chief Olusegun Agagu from Lagos to Akure, for
the a state burial.
Falae, who was still grieving over the loss, told
the visiting Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, that he
had reached the peak of his political sojourn.
“I was looking forward to seeing Deji
take over from me, because I have
reached the peak of my being in politics.
I will miss him so much,” he said.
Tambuwal had visited the home of the
chieftain to commiserate with him and his
family over the Thursday plane crash.
Tambuwal said Deji was his friend and had
sent useful text messages to him on how to
move the country forward, four days before
the unfortunate incident. (Punch)
