PHOTOS: Ondo State Commissioner for Culture, Deji Falae Buried Today

The burial of the Ondo State commissioner of Culture and Tourism, Deji Falae, took place today in Akure the Ondo State capital.

Mr. Falae's burial was witnessed by his wife Mrs. Eseh Falae, his brother Barrister Deji Falae and his children, Wuraola, Ayorinde and Oreoluwa. The funeral service took place at the funeral service St David's Anglican Cathedral, Ijomu, Akure

Also in attendance was the Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, his wife, Olukemi and the Deputy Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Hon Dare Emiola


It might interest you to know this man is the only commissioner in the state who does not own a house until his death. He was engulfed with the passion to serve his state rather than accumulate looted funds like most politicians do today.

I am not too surprised about this because his father, Olu Falae has a very similar and wonderful record. I just hope our politicians also think of a day like this when people will talk about them and do something worthwhile in their lifetime.

I pray God in his infinite mercy will keep his wife and children and we hope to see a 'Babatunde' among his kids in the nearest future.

He is one of the few politicians we have in this nation who work tiredlessly with his might selflessly.
