The special advisers are Bro. Emmanuel Ogidi (Rural Development and Peace Building), Sen. Emmanuel Aguariavwodo (Infrastructure and Housing Development), Rt. Hon. Martins Okonta (Land Resources and Legislative Matters), Hon. Pascal Adigwe (National Assembly Matters and Inter-governmental Liaison) and Comrade Mike Okeme (Labour Relations).

“I want to make it crystal clear that this administration has zero tolerance for sectionalism and nepotism. Given the pan-Delta mandate that brought us here we cannot afford to do any less. The horrible thing about ethnic politics is that it appeals to our worst instincts and fuels our greatest fears…

“As commissioners and special advisers, always remember that you have been appointed to serve the entire state, treat and give every citizen equal opportunity and the chance to realise his or her potentials and benefit from our programmes,” the governor said.
