Eulogio "Eloy" Songao Inos (September 26, 1949 – December 28, 2015[1]) was a Northern Marianan politician who served as the eighth governor of the Northern Mariana Islands from 2013 to 2015. Inos, a member of the Republican Party, also served as the eighth lieutenant governor from 2009 to 2013.
He was nominated as lieutenant governor by Governor Benigno Fitial to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Lieutenant Governor Timothy Villagomez. Villagomez was convicted on federal fraud charges. Inos was confirmed by the Senate and was sworn into the lieutenant governor office on May 1, 2009.[2] He was elected to a full term as lieutenant governor in November 2009.
Inos became governor on February 20, 2013, following the resignation of Benigno Fitial, after he was impeached by the House for fraud-related activities. Inos was elected to a full-term as governor in the 2014 gubernatorial election.
Inos died in office on December 28, 2015, local time, in Seattle, Washington, at the age of 66.[3]
