The appointment of Joe Igbokwe as special adviser on drainage and water resources to the governor of Lagos state, has generated reactions on social media.

Before his appointment, Igbokwe was the spokesman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

Igbokwe had courted controversy earlier in the month when he said that anyone who claims President Muhammadu Buhari is not doing well is a liar from hell.

Some of the commentators on social media mocked him on the new appointment which they claimed has belittled his status.

Reno Omokri, ex-aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, described Igbokwe’s portfolio as an issue of poetic justice.

May the poetic justice visited upon Joe Igbokwe fall on all those who know that General @MBuhari is a DISASTER but go on TV/Radio/Social Media to lie that he is a SUPERSTAR.

Benny Umoren said Igbokwe’s portfolio makes him a special adviser on Lagos gutters affairs.

“Congrats to Joe Igbokwe, the Special Adviser to the Governor of Lagos State on Drainage and Water Resources aka SA on Lagos Gutter Affairs,” she said.

''Joe Igbokwe, Special Assistant on Water resources and drainage services!

Do you know the job detail behind Drainage service?.. Cleaning of gutter and packing of shit all over Lagos.

Then Water resources?… Fetching of water. He would be fetching water for governor Sanwo-Olu!

I am just wondering why Mr Joe Igbokwe would deny his own origin as an IGBO man, just to land a role as Special Assistant to Governor Sanwoolu. Is this not so ridiculous?

To add salt to injury, they asked him to be picking and packing dirts in Lagos drainages. 😂

So Joe Igbokwe (that former Igbo man) has been conferred with a very befitting title by the mad governor of Lagos State as Special Adviser, Drainage and Water Resources.
