Gov Otti Decorates Adc With New Rank
Abia State Governor, Alex Otti on Monday decorated his Aide-De-Camp (ADC), Mr. Godwin Okore, with his new rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP).
DSP Okore was promoted recently from the rank of Assistant Superintendent of
Police (ASP) in the Nigeria police Force.
Also decorated alongside the Governor’s ADC is Amos Akpan, in-charge of communication in the Government House, who was equally promoted to the rank of DSP.
The Abia State Commissioner of Police, CP Kenechukwu Onwuemelie, assisted the Governor in decorating the newly promoted officers.
Governor Otti congratulated the officers and paid special tributes to their wives, whom he said were playing the roles of both fathers and mothers as their husbands were not available most times because of the nature of their jobs.
“I am very happy that you are among those that earned promotions. I want to congratulate you because it is not easy, out of hundreds of thousands of people, just a few where promoted,” he said.
Speaking further, the Governor said, “Let me also congratulate your wives, who have been bearing the brunt as you move around. I know that my ADC, his wife is in Abuja. Most of the times, she is both papa and mama for the four children. We are not taking you for granted; we thank you for the support and thank all the women who support their husbands.”
