7 October 2025

Two months after the Ibom Air incident involving Comfort Emmanson, the Senior Special Assistant on Media to Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Ossai Success, has denied allegations of promoting unruly behaviour.

On August 10, an Ibom Air flight from Uyo landed safely in Lagos, but an altercation between a flight attendant and Emmanson drew public attention and sparked widespread reactions online.

Amid the controversy, Success announced a paid job offer for Emmanson with a monthly salary of N500,000, along with an all-expenses-paid trip to Delta State.

Following backlash from critics, the governor's aide clarified that his decision stemmed from a desire to make a positive impact through his innovative and generous approach.
