At exactly 9:50 a.m. this Thursday, Professor Charles Soludo, was sworn-in as the governor of Anambra State, ending the eight years reign of Willie Obiano.
Recall that in a statement on Wednesday, the Head, Soludo Media Office, Joe C. Anatune, had said that the inauguration of the Anambra State Governor-elect, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, would be low key.
The statement reads, “The Anambra State Governor-elect, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, will officially be sworn in Thursday, as the sixth democratically-elected governor of the state.
“Invited guests are expected to be seated by 9am prompt. Similarly, all accredited media Houses are to be at the venue before 8 a.m.”
“After the official swearing-in, Prof Chukwuma Soludo will inspect a guard of honour and consequently makes his inaugural address to the people of Anambra State.
“Thereafter, an inter-denominational service will hold briefly before the new Governor immediately sets out to work.
“Please note this event is strictly low key and devoid of the usual merry-making and unbridled celebrations usually associated with occasions of this nature.”
