Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has appointed Oghenevweta Fidelis Adjogbe as his Senior Special Assistant (Political).
Adjogbe’s appointment comes at a time when Okowa who is also the Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is leaving no stone unturned in ensuring the PDP consolidates its dominance of Evwreni Kingdom, where a founding leader of the main opposition party in the state hails from.
The Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Chief Patrick Uka, in a letter conveying the governor’s appointment of Adjogbe said in part, “I am pleased to convey to you, your appointment as Senior Special Assistant (Political) to the Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa with effect from 5th September, 2022”.
In a chat with NewsNet Nigeria, the newly appointed SSA to the governor expressed his profound gratitude to Dr Okowa for finding him worthy to serve in his administration.
He noted that the governor has in the past seven years passionately committed himself to the overall development of Delta.
On the Alhaji Abubakar Atiku and Dr Ifeanyi Okowa joint presidential ticket, Adjogbe said both, “are the needed factors for a better and working Nigeria”.
Oghenevweta Fidelis Adjogbe, a native of Evwreni town in Ughelli North Local Government Area is a graduate of Information Technology from the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Imo State.
He is expected to wield enormous influence in galvanising support for the PDP in the Ughelli area where also the supposed main governorship challenger to the PDP candidate in the 2023 general elections comes from.
