The Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Mr Michael Adeyemo, on Tuesday called on governors of South West states to immortalise the late literary icon, Adebayo Faleti.
He said this was in view of his numerous literary works which promoted Yoruba values and culture.
Adeyemo, who led a delegation of lawmakers to the residence of the deceased in Ibadan, also appealed to media houses, particularly broadcast organisations, to continue the airing of his works in order to keep his memory alive.
According to him, airing the works of the deceased, particularly his audio and visual recordings, would help the younger generations who never had the opportunity to know him to still learn from him.
Describing Faleti as an accomplished man in all spheres of his endeavours, the Speaker enjoined the widows and children of the deceased not to mourn but see his passage as a celebration of a hero.
