The Chief of Staff to Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State, Chief Earnest Ezeajughi, has faulted reports making the round that the governor is under intense pressure from outside forces over the constitution of a new executive council.

There were reports alleging that Soludo has been under pressure from perceived major stakeholders of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and top political class to either return their candidates or appoint their nominees into the in coming Executive Council.

Dismissing the reports, Ezeajughi insisted that Soludo was thorough in making his appointments, adding that he is not under any pressure from anywhere. “It is natural for people to make projections during situation like this and it is expected because the bulk stops at his table. “But to say that he is under pressure is not true and it is baseless to say the least.”
