This is contained in a statement signed by his Chief of Staff (CoS), Mr. Bola Olagbegi, and made available to newsmen on Thursday, June 29 2023 in Okitipupa.
According to the statement, Onawunmi, from Ile-Oluji/Okegbo Local Government Area (LGA), one of the six LGAs the business mogul is representing, is among Ibrahim’s campaign media team.
“Onawunmi’s appointment takes immediate effect,” said the statement.
Onawunmi, a civil servant, promised he would not take the privilege for granted and gave glory to God. He expressed gratitude to Ibrahim for the trust reposed in him over the appointment.
“No one receives anything except it is given from heaven. To God be the glory for the huge appointment and I will forever be grateful to Sen. Ibrahim for this privilege.
“This appointment can only be given by one who believes that the son of nobody can be somebody through hard work,” Onawunmi said in the statement.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the appointment makes it the second after Ibrahim recently appointed Olagbegi, publisher of Ondo Events, an online newspaper, as his CoS.
