Soludo sacks all appointees

Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo has directed all political appointees in the state to hand over their duties with immediate effect.

The directive was contained in a circular issued by the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr Nwabufor Nwankwo, on Wednesday, March 18, 2026.

This comes barely 24 hours after Soludo’s inauguration for a second term in office.

The affected appointees were directed to hand over to Permanent Secretaries or, in their absence, the most senior civil servant in their respective Ministries, Departments and Agencies.

Soludo stated that the handover process must be completed on or before the close of work on the same day, pending the constitution of a new cabinet.

“I am directed to inform all political appointees to hand over to the Permanent Secretaries or the most senior civil servant in the various MDAs on or before the close of work today, until a new cabinet is constituted,” Nwankwo noted.

Nwankwo also directed all first-term cabinet members to meet with Soludo on March 23 at the Anambra State Executive Council Chambers.
