The Anambra State Governor-elect, Charles Soludo, has
appointed former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, as head of his
transition team.
The governor, who is expected to be inaugurated in March
2022, succeeds the current governor of the state, Willie Obiano.
Recall that Soludo, a former Governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria, was declared winner of the November 6, 2021,
governorship election in Anambra.
The governor-elect, who contested under the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, defeated his closest rivals, Peoples Democratic Party’s Valentine Ozigbo and All Progressive Congress’ Andy Uba had 43,285 votes.
There is currently no official statement regarding the
appointment of Mrs Ezekwesili, however, according to Peoples Gazette, the
transition team would be inaugurated on January 20.
Ezekwesili, a former presidential candidate in the 2019
general election, earned a worldwide reputation as a social justice crusader
after she led the #BringBackOurGirls campaign launched after 276 female
students were abducted on April 15, 2014, by Boko Haram terrorists in Chibok
town, Borno State.
