For Sir Hon Itiako Constantine Ikpokpo(KSM), the Uro-Irri born philanthropist cum politician to emerge as the new chairman of Association of Local Government of Nigeria(ALGON) is a sign of quality leadership displayed at the grassroots level over one year in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State.

One thing about Sir Hon Itiako Ikpokpo is that, he is not a media politician but a political leader that prefers to do things in silent. His emergence into a competitive grassroots leadership position indicated that Sir Ikpokopo is living on the legacy of his great grand father.

Having read the congratulatory message sent on the social media by his grassroots leadership partner and friend, Comrade Hon Emmanuel Egbabor, the Executive Chairman of Isoko North, where he stated that Sir Ikpokpo was unanimously elected as the substantive chairman of ALGON, as a brother, friend, colleague and political partner who is committed to Isoko development and Delta State in general.

This commendation is not a political statement but reality of facts and figures of a man who displays integrity in life. With these certain grassroots leaders in Isokoland, leadership development has a new face unlike when local chairmen were not accessible to the people that elected them into power in Isokoland.

As a known Asaba-based philanthropist and Managing Director of Dunamis Icon Limited before he joined the murky waters of politics, he was always a man that listens to the people.

His leadership style is not only creating transparency and accountability but also making the people to know that leadership is service. He is not the first grassroots leader in Isoko to emerge as the chairman of ALGON but he has able to create leadership awareness for the people.

With the plethora of social media comments on Sir Ikpokpo, the sky is just the beginning for a man who came into the local government at a time when funds are limited coupled with the economic crisis and party disintegration in the country.

Sir Itiako Ikpokopo is gradually promoting grassroots leadership at the national level where Isoko nation is now recognised. Another distinguished character of Sir Ikpokpo is humility and respect for party leaders. Even the election that brought him to power under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party was highly competitive to the core but God saw him through. With God on his side, Sir Itiako Ikpokpo will take ALGON to the Promised Land. Once again, congratulations for this noble position!
