Anambra State Governor-elect, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has appointed former Minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili as the head of his transition team, ahead of the March 17 handover by incumbent Governor Willie Obiano.
Soludo, former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor and candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), was declared winner of the November 6, 2021 governorship election in the state, having defeated the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Valentine Ozigbo, who came second.
Although an Abuja court recently declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had no candidate in the poll, INEC had declared that Senator Andy Uba came third in the race.
Other members of the transition committee were not yet known as at the time of filing this report as the list had not been officially released.
