Former Chairperson of the House
Committee on Diaspora Affairs and Chairperson of the House Committee on Media
and Publicity, Abike Dabiri-Erewa is in the news again and this time, she has
been appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari as his Senior Special Assistant on
Foreign Affairs and the Diaspora.
Hmmm! Mouthwatering isn’t it? Even
though most people saw it coming as she’s been seen around the Presidency and
in most of the events since the new administration set sail.
Born in Jos, Plateau State, the
former broadcaster, who became very popular a few years ago as a result of her ‘joy’
story which was followed by millions of Nigerians on Newsline on National
Television, was first elected into the House of Representatives, representing
Ikorodu Constituency in Lagos State in 2003.
After her appointment in 2003, Abike
Dabiri-Erewa has not looked backed again as she has continued her path in
Politics which so far has paid-off very well for her.
Here is wishing her all the best in
her new office, hoping that she will represent Nigerians well and most of all,
every woman.
Also, here is also wishing Veteran Nollywood Act, beautiful Miss Ini Edo on her new appointment as Special Adviser on Tourism to the Akwa Ibom
state governor, Emmanuel Udom.
While I pray that my name and yours *yes you reading this now* make the next list of appointees, *laughs* let's keep the spirits high and hope for more appointments for the women at the state and Federal levels despite the fact that Hajiya Najatu Muhammed publicly turned down her appointment as the new Chairperson of Dutse Federal University Governing Council *I respect her reasons*.
