A senior aide to Delta State Governor offers N500,000 and an ambassadorial deal to a young UBA staff member who went viral after addressing UBA chairman Tony Elumelu by his first name. The offer is presented as a response following Elumelu’s rebuke, according to the reports.
Both outlets attribute the statement to Ossai Success, the Delta State Governor’s Senior Special Assistant on Media. He says the cash support and an ambassadorial arrangement are meant to recognize and respond to the incident that drew public attention online.
The two accounts largely align on the key details—who made the offer, the amount offered, and the nature of the additional opportunity—while framing it as a follow-up to Elumelu’s reaction rather than as a separate dispute. Neither report indicates legal action or further official steps beyond the announced offer.
