Former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, has expressed shock on the passing of veteran actor, Chef Adebayo Faleti, whom he described as a rare gem and an uncommon individual.
In his message, Otunba Daniel stated that the late Chief Faleti was a man of many parts who equally excelled in his career as a poet, journalists, writer, translator, broadcaster and TV exponent.
According to Daniel, Faleti had always been in the forefront for the promotion of Yoruba Culture and tradition, adding: “His undying passion for the development and uplift of Yoruba values could only be described in the superlatives. He was a celebrated artist and an astute administrator.
“Late Chief Adebayo’ s death was a great loss to the nation particularly the entire Yorubaland but his life and works will continue to be reference points in our national history.”
