Plane Crash: I Lost A Political Successor — Falae

A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, and a chieftain of Afenifere, Chief Olu Falae, whose son, Deji, a commissioner in Ondo State, died alongside 12 others in last Thursday’s plane crash in Lagos, says he lost a political successor.

Falae spoke when the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, paid him a condolence visit in his Akure, Ondo State home, just as Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), yesterday, commenced the identification of the victims of the crash burnt beyond recognition.

Those who visited Governor Olusegun Mimiko to condole with him over the disaster, yesterday, include Pastor E.A. Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, a former governor of Ondo State, Evangelist Bamidele Olumilua and the first lady of Ekiti State, Erelu Bisi Fayemi. All Progressive Congress (APC) leader, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu, Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi and the Director General of Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Capt Folayele Akinkuotu, were among those at LASUTH to see Feyi, the son of a former governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Agagu, whose corpse was being conveyed to Akure when the plane crashed.

Falae, while receiving Tambuwal, said 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. He, however, pointed out that he had submitted to the Almighty God and he could not question God over the death of his son.

The House Speaker told his host that Deji was his friend and that he had sent useful text messages to him on how to move the country forward, four days before the unfortunate incident.

He prayed God to grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss. Adeboye, during his visit to Mimiko, commended the Ondo governor for taking over the burial ceremony of his predecessor irrespective of party affiliation and charged him not to relent in his good works for the people. He vowed to continue to pray for peace and development in the state.

The Nigerian Medical Association,NMA, also condoled with the families of those involved in the plane crash, calling on government at all levels to be more committed to the development of the transport system, particularly in terms of fixing and regularly maintaining the bad roads/death traps that dot Nigeria’s highways and landscape.

Meanwhile, LASUTH, yesterday, commenced the identification of the victims burnt beyond recognition in the plane air-crash. Relatives of the victims had earlier been asked to come forward for collection of biological samples for the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) test. According to the Chief Examiner and pathologist, Prof John Obafunwa, the DNA analysis was necessary for proper identification of the corpses.

Families of the victims, who had reported as early as 8a.m at LASUTH, however, could not hide their anger for being kept in the dark till about 3p.m by the authorities.

According to some of them, the authorities were aggravating their pains. Addressing the relatives, the Lagos State Commissioner for Special Duties, Wale Ahmed, said the delay was as a result of consultations with the involved in the crash to ensure correct dissemination of information to relatives. Ahmed further disclosed that results of the DNA test would be ready between three to four weeks based on the email from the company handling the analysis in the United Kingdom.

In the meantime, one of the seven survivors of the crash recuperating in one of the hospitals in Lagos, identified as Hassan Samson, was said to have passed on.

DELTA ASSEMBLY SPEAKER, VICTOR OCHEI’S PASSION FOR CHARITY AND GOOD GOVERNANCE

Having a great idea and assembling a team to bring that concept to life is one of the steps to a successful leadership. This is one of the qualities possessed by the Rt. Hon (Engr.) Victor Onyekachi Ochei, the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly. Prior to his elevation to Speakership, the bubbly lawmaker had represented Aniocha North State Constituency since 2003. He was the deputy minority leader of the Third Assembly and also served as the Chairman of House Committee on Education of the penultimate Assembly. His dynamic leadership has aided House to function optimally, and in synergy with the Executive in giving hope to the masses, who daily look up to government for succour. His avowed commitment is geared towards ensuring that the legislature continues on its part of robust, painstaking and detailed legislation so that the people can continue to derive the benefit of good governance. For one thing, Hon. Ochei believes most fervently that when a good life is made politically secure for majority of the citizens, the best state exists. The Victor Ochei Foundation which he founded in 2001 has provided brand-new buses to all secondary schools in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State. Ochei is one lawmaker who will go down in history as touching the most lives in the country. This is because the University of Benin Chemical Engineering graduate has continually been affecting the lives of people especially his people of Delta State positively. The speaker who strongly believes in the saying that: “Whatever we do for ourselves alone dies with us; and that whatever we  do for others and the world remains and is immortal”, has ensured that his positive imprint is planted in the hearts of many who have come his way. To Ochei, The Victor Ochei Foundation” which he founded in 2001 has been very active in the areas of poverty alleviation.  This outfit among other philanthropic gestures has provided succor to less privileged students who crave formal education. His contributions in the education sector are immense too. His Foundation has acquired buses to convey  students to and from  schools in Aniocha North Local Government Area where he is representing . A phenomenal philanthropist, Rt. Hon. Ochei has attracted monumental development to his people through project execution, scholarship schemes and many empowerment programmes that have transformed the lives of the people of his Constituency. Meanwhile, the articulate leader has promised to reward good journalism in the country; this laudable scheme, he has started by doling out one million naira each to journalists annually, while he has promised to extend the gesture to other parts of the country, especially the Southwest. Apparently aware of the benefits of good education, Hon. Ochei, in 1996, returned to the University of Benin where he earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA). He also holds Certificate in Good Governance from Oxford University, England. He is a prominent member of the De Saints International Club, an NGO which has a passion for improving the lot of the down trodden. The Delta State Legislature has reiterated its resolve to intensify efforts at enunciating new bills that will further impact positively on Deltans in line with their constitutional calling of making laws for the good governance of the polity. A gifted orator, a community builder, a democrat and an efficient team player, Hon. Victor Onyekachi Ochei is happily married and the union is blessed with children.
