IZEZE AN EPITOME OF HUMILITY AND SERVICE TO HUMANITY


By Nelson Egware

"The success of men are in their stories" - Dr David Oyedepo

The success of Comrade Barrister Reuben Oghenerume Yakubu Izeze is indeed in his story as has never been told before. From a very humble beginning he rose to limelight with a dint of hard work patience and perseverance.

As the son of an Old Soldier, Comrade Izeze is a very disciplined man whose home background is said to have accounted largely for his humble disposition. The Comrade is a man who never loafed around despite having a rich Uncle in Warri. He did all manner of menial jobs in Warri ranging from Security Guard to bricklayer in a bid to raise money to go to school.

His sojourn to Delta State was the turning point in his life when he attended Petroleum Training Institute, PTI Effurun. He was Speaker of the Students Union Government where issues concerning students were largely taken care of. He later became Public Relations Officer of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS). When he graduated from school, he was later appointed Special Assistant on Students Affairs to Governor James Ibori.

Because of the love he has for the masses, Comrade Izeze turned down a multi-millionaire job offer with Oil Giants Exxon Mobil to take up appointment with the Delta State Government as Special Assistant to the Governor on Protocols.

Due to his hard work and loyalty he was promoted to Senior Special Assistant on Protocol in 2011, a position he occupied until he resigned in 2014 to contest as a Member Delta State House of Assembly, Ughelli South Constituency.

As Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Protocols, he used his position to influence the construction of Ukpedi Road connecting Agbowhiame, Erhuwharen, Obi-Ayagha and Oginibo Communities in Ughelli-South LGA.

It is also on record that the Comrade who believes in the universality of one mankind has also influenced the employment of over 1,000 Deltans in pensionable jobs. He has provided astute leadership to the Comrade Community in Delta State.

In his campaign promise to the people of Ughelli South, Comrade Izeze said "Specifically, by the grace of God and as a Comrade, we do not intend to make promises that we cannot fulfill. The essence of a law maker is to make laws and if we are giving the opportunity to speak we will make laws to enforce law and order. Laws that will bring law and order to Deltans because without Law and Order, society will be in chaos. That is the essence of law making.

"Our laws will be driven by the needs of our people, we shall adopt the bottom up approach and this we will do by holding regular constituency meetings with our people such that their needs and aspirations will be conveyed to us such that when we are appropriating, we will be appropriating based on the needs of our people and not on our own whims and caprices.

"Our promise to the people of Ughelli South is that when we stand to represent them we will put the interest of the entirety of Ughelli South first before any other consideration they will be represented. That in a committee of equals when a Com. Izeze is speaking among his equals on their behalf they will be proud to say indeed this is our son in whom we are well pleased. That is my solemn promise to the good people of Ughelli South".

As the campaign for the 2015 Governorship and House of Assembly Election ends today, it is note worthy to say that people of Ughelli South Local Government is blessed to have an industrious son like Comrade Izeze to represent them at the Delta State House of Assembly.
