Soludo sacks all political appointees 24 hours after swearing-In
**Breaking: Soludo Gives Immediate Orders to Anambra State Appointees**
In a surprising move, Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has instructed all political appointees to hand over their duties with immediate effect. This directive was issued just 24 hours after his inauguration for a second term in office.
According to a circular signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Nwabufor Nwankwo, all affected appointees are to transfer their responsibilities to Permanent Secretaries or the most senior civil servant in their respective Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). The handover process must be completed before the close of work on the same day, pending the formation of a new cabinet.
This development signals a major shake-up in the Anambra State government. The move could be seen as a way to introduce fresh ideas and perspectives to the administration. However, the immediate handover of duties may cause some disruptions in the running of state affairs.
It's worth noting that this is not an unusual practice in Nigerian politics. Many governors have used similar tactics to introduce new faces and approaches to governance.
In related news, all first-term cabinet members have been scheduled to meet with the governor on March 23 at 10:00 a.m. at the Anambra State Executive Council Chambers. This meeting could provide insights into the governor's plans for his second term in office.
As the new administration takes shape, Nigerians are watching with interest to see how Governor Soludo will tackle the challenges facing Anambra State.
