Rumour that Anambra State Governor, Willie
Obiano, may reshuffle his cabinet after the
2015 general elections ended late Thursday
evening as the Governor forwarded the name
of the Speaker of the state’s House of
Assembly, Chinwe Nwebiri, and five others as
proposed new commissioners to the House of
Assembly for confirmation.
Others who were nominated by Obiano are
Frank Ofor, Afam Mbanefo, Mark Okoye, Dr.
Mary Nwogu and Mrs. Amaka Ilobi.
Nwebiri was the All Progressives Grand
Alliance (APGA) candidate in the April 11
Federal Legislative Houses of Assembly
election to represent Ogbaru Federal
Constituency, which he lost.
At the moment, he represents Ogbaru state
constituency II in the House of Assembly.
The lawmakers while confirming four of the
nominees, initially objected to the
confirmation of Okoye on the ground that he
was below 30 years of age which was contrary
to the provisions of the 1999 constitution as
amended.
However, some members of the house who
were favourably disposed to Okoye stood in
his defence and insisted that he should be
confirmed alongside others.
