The Concerned Lagos People’s Assembly has called on the lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, Hon. James Abiodun Faleke, to concentrate on his responsibilities in Lagos and reduce his involvement in political activities in Kogi State.
The
group in a statement signed by it’s President Abayomi Odukale expressed
concerns over what it described as Faleke’s increasing engagement in the
political affairs of Kogi despite holding an electoral mandate in Lagos.
He
said people of Ikeja elected Faleke to represent their interests in the
National Assembly and expected his full attention to issues affecting the
constituency and Lagos State.
Odukale
mentioned that the group respects Faleke’s personal ties and heritage in Kogi
State, but stressed that his primary responsibility remains to the constituents
who elected him.
He
argued that sustained involvement in political matters outside Lagos could
raise questions about priorities and accountability, stressing that Lagos faces
several development challenges requiring focused representation.
The
group also expressed concern that political engagements beyond Lagos could
create unnecessary distractions and affect party cohesion within the
ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“We
believe Lagos deserves undivided advocacy and commitment from its elected
representatives,” Odukale said.
They
appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to encourage Faleke to prioritise his
mandate in Lagos and continue supporting efforts aimed at advancing the state’s
development.
Reaffirming
its commitment to the “Lagos-First Agenda,” the group said it would continue to
advocate accountable leadership, transparency and policies that place the
interests of Lagos residents at the forefront.
The
assembly maintained that its position was not motivated by hostility but by a
desire to strengthen democratic accountability and ensure effective
representation for the people of Ikeja Federal Constituency.
