THE MASSES SIMPLIFIED MAN IN PRINCE INUWA IYODO... Amb. Dayo Onibiyo

 Prince Inuwa Iyodo will strike you on first sight as a gentleman, no deception about this. In his usual unchangeable simplicity, he exudes confidence and radiates hope which even the ordinary man needs in every moment of his life.

Prince's unusual love of giving and offering of opportunities to people irrespective of their calling, tribe, religion and gender is unparalleled and the like of which has never been seen since the days of maverick late elder statesman, Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, sage of blessed memory.

A man of royal blood who grew up leading a very challenging life as well as paying his school fees himself, in his early days he had to rely on the sympathy of a tailor, as they were then popularly called, who sowed in his life by sewing his school uniform as his contribution and support to the young, brilliant and talented primary school boy plagued with serious financial incapacity; this helped his determination to fight all odds in his way, hence Prince's resolve dated back to his days as a little boy to be philanthropic. He can't but encourage anyone passing through difficult times never to give up, for him, those hard times will pass and become a learning curve for others.

His younger days were really turbulent but he never gave up and had decided to ensure he encourages every young person he encounters on his path at all times.

The retired but not tired meticulous civil servant of no small repute, left the service with honour and good records of creativity as well as setting up new functional departments in finance and finance related units is indeed a genuinely endowed visionary leader who cares about progress.

The Ogohi Atta Igalla, is one that is concerned about the present state of Kogi people who has never thought of venturing into politics but, having served the nation at both international, national and local levels, with flare for professionalism has a sparkling touch of capabilities that the state could benefit from. This he threw into his interest to serve through the PDP but for a time put aside his gubernatorial ambition to support H.E Capt. Idris Ichalla Wada, for whom he put together a formidable team and a backup media cum online tracking platform for the same purpose.

Prince Iyodo, in his understanding, agrees that every young person deserves to live a good life and should be mentored by progressive leaders whose avowed love for progress should be without blemish. Accordingly, he believes the state is too endowed to be poor and should not be relying on federal allocation as a monthly ritual.

Having put in his best and with financial input for H.E Idris Ichalla Wada's project at the PDP primaries at which the party did not avail him the ticket as its flag bearer, he still believes in the need to Reclaim Kogi State from the valley of indebtedness and enthrone it in the comity of productive service delivering hubs. He is an unrepentant Idris Ichalla Wadaite and former head finance at PENCOM.

The finance guru is committed now more than ever to rescuing the state from the clutches of evil and retrogression by working with a tactical team of the party for the good of the great people of Kogi state.

Testimonies from his crème of seniors, colleagues and juniors at work lent credence to his versatility, originality, tenacity, focus, productivity, humility, and zero tolerance for corruption. Despite plea by federal government to have him stay back on contract, he chose the part of honour to retire basically to give room for other young fellers.

He is happily married and blessed with children. As time unfolds we await developments on Prince Inuwa Itodo's incursion into politics via leadership by example.
