#Azerbaijan's President #IlhamAliyev has appointed his wife as first vice president, the latest move seen as tightening the family's grip on the oil-rich Caspian nation. Tuesday’s appointment of #MehribanAliyeva follows constitutional changes made after a tightly-managed referendum last year that introduced the powerful position of first vice president, the second most senior official in the country. Aliyeva, 52, has been an MP for the ruling #YeniAzerbaijanparty since 2005 and head of the influential #HeydarAliyevFoundation named after her father-in-law and former president. Born into the powerful Pashayev family, Aliyeva has sometimes been seen as a possible successor to her husband, who took over in 2003 after the death of his father Heydar, a former #KGBofficer and Communist-era boss. #riversstate #phcitytraffic #itsphc #stopthesootph #portharcourtcity #phcity #portharcourt #Lagos #abuja #Nigeria #westafrica #africa #world #regrann (at Port Harcourt)
