**Breaking News: Soludo Fires All Political Appointees in Anambra**
In a major shake-up barely 24 hours after his inauguration for a second term, Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has ordered all political appointees in the state to hand over their duties with immediate effect.
The directive was issued through a circular signed by the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Nwabufor Nwankwo. According to the circular, all political appointees are to hand over their responsibilities to Permanent Secretaries or the most senior civil servant in their respective Ministries, Departments, and Agencies by the close of work on the same day.
This move is seen as a clear indication of Governor Soludo's intention to bring in fresh faces into his administration, as he prepares to constitute a new cabinet. The affected appointees are expected to vacate their offices and hand over to their replacements.
In a related development, the government has directed first-term cabinet members to meet with the governor on March 23 at the Anambra State Executive Council Chambers. This meeting is seen as an opportunity for the governor to assess the performance of his outgoing cabinet members and discuss the way forward.
The decision to sack all political appointees is a bold move by Governor Soludo, who is known for his determination to bring about positive change in Anambra State. As he begins his second term, he is expected to implement policies and programs that will address the developmental challenges facing the state.
The people of Anambra State are watching with bated breath as Governor Soludo sets out to deliver on his campaign promises. With this bold move, he has demonstrated his commitment to reform and his willingness to make tough decisions in the interest of the state. Only time will tell if this move will yield positive results for the people of Anambra State.
