Meanwhile , in a photo circulating online, Senator Nwoye was seen handing her an appointment letter just as the Senator confirmed to newsmen after that he truly appointed her.
It was further gathered that her appointment came with a basic salary of N200,000, while this feat has been commended by many, insisting that the appointment will cushion the effect of the loss of the husband as well as assist her to take care of her family.
