The governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo, has directed all political appointees in his administration to exit their positions and hand over responsibilities to senior civil servants in their respective Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
This is coming less than 48 hours after his second-term inauguration.
The directive was disclosed in a statement issued by the Permanent Secretary in the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, chief Nwabufo Nwankwo.
Also, all members of the outgoing first-term cabinet have been invited to a meeting with the governor scheduled for Monday, March 23, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the ANSEC Chambers, Light House, Awka.
Meanwhile, during his inaugural address, Soludo pinpointed key achievements of his first term, particularly in the area of security.
He declared an end to the perennial sit-at-home disruptions, noting that economic and social activities have largely resumed across the state.
“The debilitating one-sit-at-home is over, and our schools, markets, businesses, and public servants are back to work,” he said, adding that Anambra is now regarded as one of the safest states in Nigeria.
However, governor Soludo’s re-election followed his victory in the November 8, 2025 governorship poll, as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
