Anxiety Grips Ex- Anambra Appointees As Soludo Reserves Cabinet Appointments For 3 Weeks

By Okey Maduforo 

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 of Finance and Justice were sworn in along with the new Secretary to the State Government as well as few domestic staff .

It was being 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 rather traveled to the United Kingdom to attend a Town Hall meeting of Anambra people in diaspora and is expected to return this weekend.

However, lobbing for appointments was taken to the United Kingdom where those privileged to had traveled abroad sustained the pressure on the Governor who has chosen studied silence.

A source to the Light House Awka (Anambra Government House ) , had it that most lobbyists returned back 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 that went to the United Kingdom came back not only disappointed but more confused than before" the source said .

A known kitchen cabinet member told this reporter that some appointees in the first term were provided with options of picking one out of three positions but it is not clear if they have made their choices.

When contacted also the Chief Press Secretary to Soludo Mr Christian Aburime could not provide a clear cut response as he is also unaware of what the Governor had in his list .

"He is the Governor and only him case tell who would make his list of appointees but I believe that he is taking his time and you also know that he goes for the best and for him to sustain the tempo of good governance he needs time to make proper appointments fixing personnel in their deserving positions," he said.
