Members of the Redemption Team have rejoiced with the Director-General (DG) of the team, Comrade Felix Igbekoyi, as he gets new appointment as the Bureau Chief of the Leadership Newspapers in Delta State.
The Redemption Team was the platform through which the Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Delta State, Comrade Michael Ikeogwu, won the union elections in 2020.
Speaking at the temporary press centre of the union in Asaba, the state capital, the venue of the get together felicitation, Comrade Ikeogwu congratulated him for the appointment, adding that he was particularly happy with the triumph of the DG over his many detractors as a result of his commitment, dedication and hard work that ensured the victory of the team at the union elections in the state.
He said that it was very disheartening for some members of the union in the state to have taken the ignoble step of writing petitions to the employer of the DG in Lagos which resulted in his being relieved of his former appointment, adding that his new appointment has vindicated him from the unfortunate and malicious aspersions cast on him by his detractors.
He enjoined members of the team to continue to stick together as one big family, saying that there was much to gain from strengthening unity of purpose in the team.
Present during the occasion were think tank leaders of the team, Comrades Osita Biose and Festus Ahon, Vice Chairman and Internal Auditor of the council, Comrades Salvation Ogono and Celestine Afokobah, respectively, well wishers and very many other members of the team, including Comrade (Dr) Maxwell Momah.
