History was made on Thursday in Awka, Anambra State as Governor-elect, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, officially took oath of office as the Governor of the State.
He was sworn in by the State Chief judge, Justice Onochie Anyachebelu at exactly 9:45am, at the Anambra State Government House.
It is instructive to note that Obiano, who served the state for eight years, was elected on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) while he also handed over to Soludo, who won the election on the ticket of APGA.
The event was witnessed by several dignitaries, including the outgone Governor, Chief Willie Obiano and his wife, Mrs Ebelechukwu, and all the 30 members of the Anambra State House of Assembly.
As of the time of filing this report, the new Governor is already inspecting the guard of honour, his first task as State Governor.
Soludo had earlier stated that immediately after the swearing-in, he would proceed to Okpoko, a sprawling slum, near Onitsha, where he would spend eight hours working to provide a better living for the people.
