How shameful, that Emmanuel Edesiri Aguariavwodo has made a big celebration of his reappointment as an Aide to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, having also served in same capacity in the previous administration.
I couldn’t agree less with the reflection by Egufe Yafugborhi a well established Ughievwen born journalist based in Port-Harcourt while responding to a very misplaced post loudly sharing scenes of the reception held for Aguariavwodo’s appointment on an Ughievwen Clan/ Kingdom social media platform.
To the poster, Egufe responded, “THANK YOU BUT…
A former Reps Member, former Senator, former NDDC MD, Serial Delta Aspirant, is not thanking God for adding another year, not for marriage anniversary or appointment of his child into Delta State Cabinet, but gathering you people to eat and drink for having turned a serial Governor’s Aide.
Pls you have a right to celebrate and I don’t envy you or your Boss for wearing Christmas clothes to celebrate shamelessness.
My pain here is that you probably are not aware this is Ughievwen Kingdom PLATFORM. This is no time for petty politics. Carry these your pictures to a PDP platform. Erevo rinrin avwoma dede? ” (aren’t irritated by certain oddities?)”
Like Egufe, I’m even more worried. Is it mandatory that Aguariavwodo must be an aide to any sitting Delta governor? Is it not shameful that he is an aide to Governor Sheriff? When he Aguariavwodo was in the House of Representatives, then Managing Director of NDDC, what was Sherriff’s political status in Delta?
He (Aguariavwodo) was also one time chairman Niger Delta Basin Development Authority before drifting into a serial Delta state governorship aide to any sitting governor?
And some mindless persons still accompany him for thanksgivings and partying to mock him as aide to Governor Sheriff. As rightly said by Egufe, one will happily celebrate with him for his birthday, his children’s marriages or the appointment of his children by Governor Sheriff and not himself.
Unlettered John Oguma has made himself relevant in Olomu clan/kingdom and Ughelli South politics where Emmanuel Aguariavwodo hails from without taking appointment as aide to any Delta sitting governor.
It is time for those who have unquenchable appetite for appointment as one thing or other in Delta politics to groom younger people or even their children to take appointments as aides of sitting governors.
Why will a man above 65, who has held exalted public offices be contending with younger aspiring politicians for appointment of aides to a Delta state governor and not for a national engagement, not even for a commissioner?
From available information published by Biography Legacy and research foundation of who is who in Nigeria, Emmanuel Edesiri was born December 8, 1957, which means he is approaching 66 years.
Why can’t Aguariavwodo recommend his child or any of his loyal boys for appointment as aides to Governor Sheriff than shamelessly rejoice over being selected as an aide to a governor.
Won’t his kinsmen in Okpare-Olomu Town and Olomu clan/Kingdom leaders advise him considering, his past roles in government and the shame his demeaning self brings to Olomu Kingdom?
Before coming into politics, he worked for Olorogun Michael Ibru for many years. He is supposed to be a foremost technocrat or remain at the background rendering advice as an elder or possibly chairing peace committees as elders stateman in Delta or taking appointments at the federal level and not to be an aide to Governor Sheriff.
I have said my own.
