Anxiety Grips Ex – Anambra Appointees As Soludo Reserves Appointments


Anxiety can best describe the mood of so many political appointees in Anambra State following the reserve of more appointments by Governor Charles Soludo for three weeks.

Recall that on March 25th, two Commissioners for Finance and Justice were sworn in along with the new Secretary to the State Government, as well as a few domestic staff.

It was expected that the rest of the Cabinet members would have been appointed and ultimately sworn, but Soludo was said to have kept the list close to himself. Soludo traveled to the United Kingdom to attend a Town Hall meeting of Anambra people in The Diaspora and is expected to return this weekend.

However, lobbying for appointments was taken to the United Kingdom, where those privileged had travelled abroad, and sustained the pressure on the Governor who had chosen to study silence.

A source to the Light House Awka (Anambra Government House), had it that most lobbyists returned to Nigeria frustrated as the Governor neither gave any clue nor impression on the size and persons that would make his list.

“Some of us who think that we are close to him tried to see if we can extract something from him either through his body language or by mere jokes, but we did not succeed, and those who went to the United Kingdom came back not only disappointed but more confused than before,” the source said.
