Once in a generation, history throws up rare leaders with great attitude and a first class mind. Hon Tajudeen Paul Yusuf, TJ as he is fondly called, is one such leader.
As a young man, he fought the odds of student unionism to a standstill, and through the dint of hard-work, rare courage, deep conviction, matchless inner strength and exceptional determination, he excelled as an exco of the prestigious SUG of Unijos, where he also bagged a degree in Economics.
In 2011, few years after joining the PDP, He contested to represent his people in Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu Federal constituency.And in 2015 based on his dynamic representation of his constituency, with active roles played in his state and in the Green Chamber towards the actualisation of the transformation agenda of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), he was re- elected.
Hon. TJ can be said to have attained a position which has given him the opportunity of almost seeing and knowing it all in terms of legislative matters serving as a second-time representative and having been saddled with several responsibilities in the house in ensuring the yearnings of the Nigerian masses are met.
Through his various forms of humanitarian gestures rendered to his constituents, ranging from provision of scholarship to many students both in the university and secondary schools, empowerment schemes to both, the young and old, street solar electrification & procurement of transformers where needed, equipping schools with necessary books, digging of boreholes in towns and villages across his constituency to ameliorate the water challenges faced by the people, he has also being instrumental to the gainful employment of qualified graduates. No more beautiful words can be used to paint a man that has been described as a consummate politician and very strategic, original political thinker.
Indeed, in years to come, more and much more contributions towards the welfare and socio-political emancipation of the citizenry will be witnessed from the political acumen of Hon. TJ in his capacity as member of the honourable Green Chamber of the National Assembly.
Finally, he remains a man with innovative vision to move Kogi West senatorial district from political story to political history.
