Tinubu, Obasanjo Honour Uzodimma’s Inauguration For Second Term

Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has been sworn in for a second term of office.

Some of the dignitaries at the event include President Bola Tinubu, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, and Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Others are The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, other All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains, several Imo indigenes, and other guests.

The governor took the oath of office at around 3:24 p.m. yesterday at the Dan Ayiam Stadium in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

His inauguration came just minutes after the Deputy Governor, Lady Chinyere Ekomaru, took her oath of office.

President Bola Tinubu later addressed the mammoth crowd, praising Governor Uzodinma and the removal of the fuel subsidy.

Pre-Inauguration Shuffle: Tinubu Reassigns Oyetola, Tunji-Ojo, Momoh, And More

In a significant move ahead of the inauguration, President Bola Tinubu has given his nod to a series of ministerial redeployments and renamed a key ministry.

The Federal Ministry of Environment and Ecological Management has been officially rebranded as the Federal Ministry of Environment.

Former Governor of Osun State and Minister-designate Adegboyega Oyetola has witnessed a notable redeployment, shifting from his prior role in the Ministry of Transportation to taking on a new role in the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy.

According to a statement released by the President's spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, Minister-designate Bunmi Tunji-Ojo has been reassigned to the Ministry of Interior. Simultaneously, Sa’idu Alkali, another minister-designate, has taken on the responsibilities of the Ministry of Transportation.

Another significant change involves the redeployment of minister-designate Abubakar Momoh from the Federal Ministry of Youth to the Federal Ministry of Niger Delta Development.

This move has garnered attention, especially since the Niger Delta ministry had been conspicuously absent from the previous list of appointments, sparking various reactions. Notably, the Federal Ministry of Youth is yet to be allocated to a Minister-Designate soon.

Moreover, notable shifts have occurred in the Oil & Gas sector, where both Ministers of State have been integrated into the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources. Heineken Lokpobiri is now the Minister of State (Oil), and Ekperipe Ekpo holds the Minister of State (Gas) position.

In the preceding week, President Tinubu unveiled the portfolios for the 45 ministers-designate, reserving the position of Minister of Environment and Ecological Management specifically for a representative from Kaduna State. These changes mark a strategic restructuring in the lead-up to the inauguration, signifying a dynamic shift in ministerial responsibilities and naming conventions.
