Professor Chukwuma Soludo has been sworn in as the Executive Governor of Anambra State.

The swearing-in ceremony was performed at the Anambra State Government House, Awka.

The oath of office and allegiance to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was administered by the Chief Judge of the State, Justice Onochie Anyachebelu.

With the successful inauguration of Professor Soludo as Governor, it brings it to total of six persons who have been sworn in as democratical elected governors in the state starting from people Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Dr Chinwoke Mbadinuju, Dr Chris Ngige, Mr Peter Obi, and Chief Willie Obiano.

Dame Virgy Etiaba was sworn in as Governor in 2006 after former Governor Peter Obi was unceremoniously impeached as Governor of the State, an impeachmenr later described by Nigerian Courts as illegal.

At the swearing in ceremony, the oath of office was first taken by the Deputy Governor, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim administered by the Chief Judge.

And so followed the oath of allegiance and office by Professor Soludo.

In his inaugural address, Governor Soludo who revealed that he applied, his party shortlisted and ndi Anambra gave him the mandate, promised to work very hard to make ndi Anambra proud, thanking God, former Governor Obiano, as well as all stakeholders for helping to make the day a reality starting from insisting on transparent electoral process.

The Governor assured that he will hit the ground running from holding a meeting of the state security Council, among others, seeking the active corperation from the federal government and neighbouring states.

While stating that himself and his deputy are committed to building a new socio-economic order, with short term pains but guarantee of a prosperous future, Governor Soludo insisted on patronising local brands, promising to give it his all to make the state proud, using the lean resources of the state to lay the foundation of a new Anambra.

Governor Soludo also promised to conduct local government elections in the next two years of his administration as a way of getting reinvigorating the grassroots, among other reforms.

The ceremony was attended by a cross section of people from within and outside the state including former Governors Willie Obiano and Peter Obi, Senator Victor Umeh.

APC AKIDA

The orchestrated campaign of calumny against the Honourable Minister of State for Defence H.E Dr Bello Muhammad Matawalle MON by a group of street orchins recruited by the leader of APC AKIDA Tijjani Ramallan is very  preposterous and indecent.

This is politics too far, Ramadan has been attacking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR right from campaign days. He never supported or participated in APC activities, he has been jealous of Matawalle loyalty to our President.

Tijjani Ramallan has been sponsoring Banditry and romancing with criminals.

The leader of the APC AKIDA  Tijjani Ramallan is being sponsored by the state government to attack the person of Dr Matawalle. It is expected that by now the DSS should have arrested him . He has found himself as a willing tool to be manipulated by Governor Dauda Lawal in attacking Dr Matawalle.

The earlier smear campaign embarked by zamfara state government which was stopped by a court order has forced them to shift to the use of APC AKIDA to carry out their mischief.

What zamfara people need is good governance and not wasting the state resources in trying to pull Matawalle down.

Pull him down syndrome pays no body.

Yesterday, Angry youths set parts of the popular Wuse market in Abuja on fire over the killing of a 17-year-old hawker simply identified as Musa.

The office of the Abuja Markets Management Limited (AMML) inside the market as well as some cars parked at the market’s car park were reportedly affected.

It was gathered that a suspect who was being tried at the mobile court in the market attempted to run away, but was allegedly shot and killed by the police.

A senior official of the AMML, who pleaded for anonymity, confirmed the incident.

He said the suspect was already convicted of a crime which was not mentioned and in the process of taking him to court for another offence, the boy bolted and tried to run when he was shot by the police. The AMML official said that was what provoked the attackers to burn down some shops, the office of AMML and some vehicles.

The situation caused a stampede in the market as people rushed to save their property.

It is not clear how many people were injured in the stampede as people scaled the fences while some pushed their way through the few gates available. But so many shops and goods got destroyed by the fire.

The After maths of the fire
