In our clime, it is a rare happenstance seeing a selfless individual, not an elected figure continue to give back to the society without expecting an instant reward or compensation. It is rare to come by.
As it is a common practice and culture, politicians only knock on the doorsteps of their constituents when they find it expedient vying for a position, most often, after every four years.
The very moment their political expedition didn’t see the light of the day, they vanished into thin air and resurface few months to the next election. Such is the unfortunate experience of the electorate.
Over the years, one personality who has continued to engrave his name in gold, albeit not an elected figure is Asiwaju Engr. (Dr.) Prince Olatunji Olusoji, CEO Grosvenor Global Services Ltd, crown Prince of Ayere Kingdom.
Across the length and breath of Kogi State, he has become a personage that requires no presentation.
From Egume to Ayingba, down to Adavi to Agassa to Ogaminana further down to Odo – Ape to Egbe and Iffe Olukotun, Olusoji has an unstoppable insignia of rapid and effective developmental impact.
If one refer to him as a man of substance and without boundary, whose life traverse service, exemplary leadership, nation building, and community development, you’re stating the obvious.
Prince Olatunji Olusoji, Founder and Chairman PROOF Foundation has uninhibitedly being garbed with numerous laurels with quiet dignity, as a successful entrepreneur, community leader, philanthropist, undertaken each role with a deep sense of responsibility, grace, humility, and candour.
Even at a youthful age, Dr. Olusoji is easily recognised as a firebrand who understands stewardship, duty, philanthropy, and the value of creating a legacy of love and inspirational leadership.
It is not often seen where influential few in the society are inherently gifted with an open door and an open heart of sacrifice, generosity and rare patriotism. Olusoji is a masterpiece in these art!
The ease with which people and communities feel recognised and impacted in Asiwaju’s presence is awesome.
Give it to an icon of hope who often envision and nurture good relationship, inculcate values that serves as a model and take the bull by the horn to exert discipline and dignity of labour, and instill societal progress, not only spoken about, but exhibit influence and proactive action.
For the inimitable and highly versatile Prince Olusoji, he is unrelentless to embodying a legacy fashioned by dignity, honour, respect, servitude, and benevolence of spirit.
Characteristically, continue to be a humanity in true form and live a life full of deep footprints, and may your legacy of love and rare magnanimity take you to where you rightly belongs – the summit.
