CITIZENS COMPASS— Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Charles Soludo, on Wednesday, sacked all political appointees in the State.
Soludo directed them to hand over their duties with immediate effect.
This occurred barely 24 hours after his swearing-in for a second term.
The Governor disclosed this in a circular issued by the Office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG).
The circular instructed affected appointees to transfer responsibilities to Permanent Secretaries or, in their absence, the most senior civil servant in their respective Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
“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,” the statement read.
The government further directed that all first-term cabinet members are to meet with the governor on Monday, March 23, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the ANSEC Chambers.
The circular was signed by the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Nwabufor Nwankwo.
The development signals the formal dissolution of the existing cabinet and marks the beginning of a fresh administrative cycle under Governor Soludo, as he prepares to reconstitute his executive team for the new term.
