Delta Online Publishers Forum (DOPF) has felicitated with Mr.

Charles Aniagwu, Commissioner for Information and Mr. Olisa

Ifeajika, new Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to Governor Ifeanyi

Okowa of Delta State on their respective appointments.

 

The commendations was made in separate letters to the duo

signed by Mr. Emmanuel Enebeli and Mr. Shedrack Onitsha,

chairman and secretary respectively, Delta Online Publishers Forum

(DOPF).

 

While congratulating Mr. Aniagwu on his appointment and

successful inauguration as Commissioner for Information and

member of the Delta State Executive Council, the Online publishers

said: “Your coming this far did not come to us as a surprise given

your very commendable pedigree and exploits as the erstwhile

Chief Press Secretary to His Excellency, Senator (Dr) Ifeanyi Okowa,

Governor of Delta State.”

 

The Online publishers added, “as Chief Press Secretary, you

brought your experience as a journalist to bear on the job and

displayed uncanny wisdom in mobilizing journalists in the state and

beyond making Governor Okowa and his administration the focus

of their attention in information dissemination. Being a professional

journalist, you know when to intervene to keep the good reputation

of your boss intact with well crafted and convincing press

statements. We of the Delta Online Publishers Forum (DOPF) recall

in particular that you appeared as our debut guest on DOPF’S

FRONTLINE, the neutral platform designed for critical segments of

the society to share views, create awareness for their programmes,

initiatives and activities.”

 

The Online Publishers spoke further, “we identify with you in this

your moment of joy, and ask that the relationship already

established with DOPF will continue to flourish even in your new

office as the Commissioner for Information, Delta State.”

 

Speaking on Mr. Ifeajika’s appointment, the Online Publishers have

this to say, “as a Corporate Affairs Commission certified corporate

body of seasoned professional journalists that have taken to online

practice, we have deemed it necessary to identify with you, a well

known colleague and seasoned journalist and share in your joy of

this appointment. As a journalist of note, we have no doubt that you

will bring your experience into game as the chief spokesman of the

Governor in his relationship with journalists and the media in the

state.”

 

The Online Publishers spoke further, “we pray God to grant you His

presence, wisdom, guidance and good health in the discharge of

your new assignment.”

 

The Online Publishers also commiserated with Mr. Aniagwu on his

recent bereavement, the demise of his father-in-law, late Engr.

Cornelius Ogu, saying: “we identify and share with you in this

moment of grief, and pray that God Almighty grants you and your

beloved wife, and the rest of the family the fortitude to bear this

irreparable loss.”
