A Required Balance
_Applause for a young and dynamic politician who could be credited with the rise of some political stalwarts_
A key factor that sets leadership apart is the capacity to effectively formulate, harmonize, implement, monitor and evaluate policies and programmes. To this, merit must constitute the overriding yardstick for the next Chairman of Ahoada East Local Government Area.
Also, and in order to attain balance, the right momentum to maintain a steady course must be given priority attention to the character, personality, experience and disposition of the new Council helmsman.
In line, the ideal Executive Chairman must be a person of immense wisdom, sound judgment, versatility and commendable wealth of experience in human management and good public record of service. For the obvious, the next Chairman should maintain an aura of positive vision and exceptional diligence; must be fully committed to the development of the area, with an imitable patience, tolerance and a keen eye for details. The new chairman must always exude positive energy, passion and grace; and be an adherent of inclusive leadership.
That’s where Arch. Samuel Ideozu, Ph.D comes into the picture. A foremost new breed politician from Ehuda (Ahoada) metropolitan town; he is from every logical perspective the best primed person to occupy the Executive seat of Ahoada East Local Government Area, as the current administration winds up. This is even more so as the People Democratic Party (PDP), his party, in its unassailable wisdom, had decidedly zoned the position of the Chairmanship to Igbu Ehuda, one of the component Kingdoms in the local government.
Although Arch. Ideozu needs no introduction, it is necessary to state that he is a quintessential public servant, an architect, a grassroots politician and perfect gentleman.
Of course, effective communication is another key quality of an efficient Council Chairman and, Arch. Ideozu is the embodiment of all these traits.
He relates effortlessly with; and appeals to people of all gender, ages, classes, religions and political divides. His political, social and economic tentacles are large and strong enough to attract and sustain the needed goodwill of the vast majority of the people of Ahoada East. Compared to his meritorious public service as a professional architect, academic Lecturer turned politician, Arch. Ideozu may not seem to have accumulated much mundane wealth, but a lot will testify that his kindness and generosity is evident in the lives of countless number of people.
Ever accessible to the people, he is firmly and constantly in touch with the grassroots. He listens intently, and as much as possible, attends to the problems of those who come in contact with him. The party will discover that Arch. Samuel Ideozu, in due time, remains the undeniable rallying point.
