Brian Wotari, vice-chairman of Kolokuma/Opokuma local
government area of Bayelsa state, has appointed Omonigbalebo Dani Orogono, who
is believed to be 118 years old, as his “special adviser on elder matters”.
Orogono’s appointment was contained in a letter dated
February 4, 2020, and signed by Bedford Ineye, one of the aides of the
vice-chairman.
“It is my pleasure to inform you that you have been
appointed as Special Adviser on Elder Matters to the Vice Chairman,
Kolokuma/Opokuma LGA,” the letter read.
“Your appointment is with immediate effect. Congratulations
and accept the warmest regards from the Vice Chairman.”
Ebinimi Abiama, a consultant with the local council, said the appointment was a show of solidarity with the aged people in the
area.
“She wasn’t appointed so she could do the adviser work per
se,” he said.
“But just as a solidarity to carry the elderly people along.
It is a honourary appointment. She is the oldest woman in the local government
area and at her age, the pay she gets as an adviser is something to keep her
going.
“The vice-chairman also intends to upgrade the living
standard of the woman, as, amongst others, her house will be renovated.”
