Hon. Ige is a great example of how those in position of power should emulate. He has planted the seed of his name in the hearts of so many people whose lives he has touched one way or the other.

Even those that have opportunity to travel outside the country are doing great in the world.

He is very humble, generous and accessible. Other politicians should emulate these virtues he has whenever they have the opportunity of making others happy while in the position of power and I think that is why God has been helping him to be relevant as well.
