DELTA State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa today (06/06/19) inaugurated Rt. Hon. Funkekeme Solomon as his Senior Political Adviser, saying that his second term will be a busy one as his administration is determined to build a stronger state.

Governor Okowa described Rt. Hon. Solomon as "a man of great candour, courage and character who has been well prepared for the office of the Senior Political Adviser and I urge him to put his political views on hold in order to be able to analyse every situation dispassionately and proffer workable solutions; fairness, equity and justice must guide all your utterances, decisions and actions."

He continued, "as a political leader of repute, I expect you (Rt. Hon. Solomon) to know that politicians can be quite vexatious; but, you should be able to rise above petty sentiments, even in the face of obvious provocation; you must be above board and, at all times, demonstrate maturity, patience and calmness in dealing with the political class; it is a tough call but, I have full confidence in your ability to navigate the tempestuous political terrain, and help us achieve our vision of a Stronger Delta"
The governor congratulated Rt. Hon. Solomon on his appointment and expressed confidence that he will succeed in his new assignment.
Rt. Hon. Solomon who was the Director-General of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Organisation in 2019, in his response, thanked Governor Okowa for finding him fit to be the Senior Political Adviser, assuring that he will carry out his functions diligently to the glory of God, and satisfaction of Deltans.

We too are going to be very busy monitoring all your lies.
