Obiano’s Appointment Gets Reactions From Anambra

                                  

The appointment of 19 commissioners and 10 Special Advisers into the state executive council on Friday by Governor Willie Obiano yesterday illicited reactions from a cross section of the state. 

 National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA), Chief Victor Umeh expressed confidence in the caliber of the newly appointed members of Anambra state executive council.

Umeh declared that they are people with  quality academic background and not just anybody but people of substance and good background who have excelled in their fields of endeavour.

He charged the commissioners to work assiduously with the governor to consolidate on the gains recorded to ensure that Anambra people continued to enjoy democratic divided and good governance.

He said: “The state has made giant strides in development,  good net work of roads, good facilities in our hospitals, schools, hospitals etc, they are already on on ground, the people need more from you”, as he charged them to be loyal, and key into his vision and policy trust.

The commissioner for transport, Mr Chuma Mbonu, pledged to support the administration in revamping and reforming the exiting modes of transportation in the state, even as he promised to put in his best in the present efforts to move Anambra to nthe next level.

Commissioner for special Duties, Sir Norbort Obi, expressed the determination to justify the confidence reposed in him, saying his appointment was a call to duty.   

Mrs Ngozi Okonkwo in charge for Internally Generated Revenue(IGR), urged people in Anambra to give their required cooperation, and assured to work and help realize the governors’ vision of improving the state  revenue.

However, Mr Olivre Onwuchekwa who called himself a national commentator said the appointment was long over due, and accused the new governor still engaged the ‘old and expired hands’ rather than ordering them to hand over to permanent secretaries in the Ministries. “I can not be carried away, I am not trilled with the late posting. Its not new”.

Governor Obiano who swore in 19 commissioners into the state executive council and 10 Senior Special Advisers on Friday charged them  to exhibit total loyalty to the administration and work hard to justify their respective appointment.

The Governor strongly warned that he will not hesitate to sack any of the top officials found to be wanting in his/her duties, just as he urged them to work  and abide by the oaths of allegiance and office which were administered on them under his (Obiano's) supervision.
