Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, has approved the appointment of 16 Special Advisers (SAs) as efforts are in top gear to deepen the gains of the Shared Prosperity 3R Government of his second term.

One of them is Andy Chikwe, the first son of Dr Kema Chikwe. Until recently, Dr Chikwe, former Aviation Minister under President Olusegun Obasanjo, former Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Republic of Ireland, was a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Party, PDP. His last son was also a Special Assistant to the Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha during Ihedioha’s brief tenure as Imo State Governor, no thanks to the Supreme Court which sacked him from office in 2020 in favour of Senator Hope Uzodimma of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

In fact, Dr. Chikwe was, also, a former PDP National Women Leader and a BoT member of the Party.

However, she has since given the PDP a wide berth due to the simmering crisis which engulfed it in Imo State where, a source from her said she had to endure insults from those young enough to be her children.

Dr Chikwe has, since, shifted her loyalty to Governor Uzodimma in appreciation of the developmental strides of the Governor, especially, in the provision of infrastructure, and more especially, roads.

The appointments of the Special Advisers by Governor Uzodimma are with immediate effect.

The newly appointed SAs are:
