The forthcoming inauguration of Prof. Charles Soludo as the next governor of Anambra is to last for only 20 minutes, the state government has said.
Soludo’s inauguration is scheduled to hold on March 17, 2022.
Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Enlightenment, C-Don Adinuba, announced on Thursday that a lot of activities would be shelved during the swearing-in.
Adinuba, who was also the Director, Media and Publicity to Mr Soludo 2021 campaign organisation, added that only 50 persons would feature at the inauguration.
Adinuba’s statement reads, “The entire ceremony will last some 20 minutes.
“The public, traditionally comprising entertainers and the rest who cannot perform any useful roles, are not expected.
“Of course, there will be family members, and party officials who will be served with finger foods, water and beverages.”
Soludo, who is a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, had recently said that the inauguration would be low-key.
But the out-going Governor, Willie Obiano, had in several public functions said that the inauguration of his successor would be held at the 10,000 seater International Conference Centre, Awka being constructed by his administration.
