Veteran journalist Daniel Idonor, who in 2014 was honoured by his kinsmen in Delta state for his efforts in assisting the developments of youths, died on Monday. He was 45.



Idonor, a former chairman of the state house press corps, passed away in Abuja after a brief illness.

A publisher and a former editor with Vanguard newspapers left behind his wife, 4 children and siblings.

According to Horatius Egua, a close friend and business partner, the deceased was a devoted Christian, who was a Deacon with the Living Faith Ministry, Abuja, Mr. Idonor was also a one time Chairman of the State House Press Corps, Abuja.



The late Mr. Idonor started his journalism career at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Bauchi and at different times worked for Champion and Vanguard Newspapers respectively before he ventured into online publishing.



Mr. Idonor served meritoriously as the Chairman of the State House Press Corps before he entered the mainstream nation’s politics under the banner of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) where he aspired to represent his senatorial district in 2013 before he was advised to step them by the party hierarchy.



He was a top contender for the House of Representatives primary election in his Ughelli-Udu Federal Constituency, in Delta State under the platform of the PDP before he withdrew from the race early December 2014.



He would be greatly missed by his family, colleagues, the Urhobo nation and numerous students who had benefited immensely from his scholarship programme.
