Since the day of its inauguration last week Thursday, the current administration in Anambra State, led by Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has, expectedly, continued to work, innovate and facilitate some changes in the system of governance.

The wave of change has also, blown to the Office of the First Lady of the state, popularly known as the Office of the Wife of the Governor.

It was observed on Friday that the structure of the office, located at the left-hand side of the entrance gate of the Government House in Awka, has begun to receive the Soludo Effect, as painters were seen, cleaning off the inscription “Office of Wife of the Governor” boldly written on the building.

As at the time of the press, the cynosural building currently stands with its former inscription completely erased and it’s former workers assigned to other ministries in the state, heralding the abolishment of the Office of the Wife of the Governor, by the current administration.

Some of the passersby who witnessed the annihilation process tagged it one of Governor Soludo's strategy towards cutting down spendings and cost of governance, as well as actualising his resolve and promise on prudent management of the state's resources.

Recall that the Office was in existence and in operation throughout the last eight years of Governor Willie Obiano's administration, as was boldly occupied by the immediate-past First Lady of the state, Dr. Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano, with its own funding mechanism and impacts.

The building was, however, not designated as the Office of the Wife of the Governor during the administrations of former Governors Chris Ngige and Peter Obi, until the arrival of Chief Willie Obiano who assigned it to his wife who designated it as such.

Speculations therefore abound that the current administration of Prof. Chukwuma Soludo may not tow his predecessor’s footsteps as he made no mention of First Lady or Governor's Wife in his Inaugural Address last week Thursday.

It is, however, at this time, still sketchy what the building would be used for by this current administration.

Good!

Ok

Any wasteful office should be scrapped, i love his speech were he made it clear that his government will be for the poor not the rich.

Not good. The man should be the governor while the woman would handle mostly ladies and female child affairs in union with the ministry of women affairs.

The wife of the governor should be like a mother figure to the state.

Good step, Obiano wife and her Hubby no just follow

First term syndrome.

PMB did a similar thing

Nothing like that constitutionally. All these additional expenses brought us here. Let the ministry do their work.

If she likes she can run an NGO or seek employment in the ministry ( dont know if its constitutional tho)

Initial gragra as if the office is hindering them from performing, men always trying to blame women for their failure since time immemorial.

Impressive.

Any move to put women where they belong is a welcome development.


Carry go Soludo!

Renovation of the governor's office taking placw.

I concur

It’s a waste

She doesn’t need an office block to function… should should simply function as an extension of the governor. He can send her to small social functions to represent him etc…

Nice one, that office is so redondant

Women are peripherally useless

Imagine a woman was Governor
And her Husband has an office

Office of the Husband of the Governor.

It sounds like something a truly useless and unintelligent person would crave to represent.

Who voted for the governor's wife position? She's the wife of the governor not a politician

Exactly this your postulation is what landed us ( state and country in general) in the sordid state we are currently in.
Where the budgets of some 1st lady offices are more than that of education and health.

Abeg it's enough, let the commissioner for women affairs do all those and be held accountable by the state assembly biko.

Good one.

THE FORMER OCCUPANT OF THAT OFFICE WAS A DISGRACEFUL TYRANT OF A WOMAN.

OBIANO’S WIFE EBELECHUKWU WAS A GREEDY, OVERBEARING AND VOLATILE FIRST LADY WHO EVEN TOOK OVER THE OFFICE OF GOVERNOR AND EVEN WORSE, USED TO SIT ON THE GOVERNORS SEAT DURING STATE EXCO MEETINGS AS THE PICTURE BELOW SHOWS.

SHE KNEW OBIANO WAS A WEAKLING AND A DRUNKARD AND BECAUSE OF THAT FACT SHE HIJACKED GOVERNANCE FROM HIM, AWARDING ALL MAJOR CONTRACTS TO HERSELF, HER COMPANIES AND HER CRONIES.

THE STATE WAS UNDER HER IRON GRIP AND SHE WAS DEALING RUTHLESSLY WITH ANYBODY WHO DARED TO STAND IN HER WAY, ESPECIALLY COMMISSIONERS AND GOVERNMENT STAFF.

SOLUDO NEEDS TO SCRAP THE EXCESSES OF THE OFFICE OF FIRST LADY TO BRING SANITY BACK TO ANAMBRA

Everytime this man swallows garri he sends someone to post about it online.

Just imagine!!! Office of the wife of the governor. Who is wife of the governor? She has no place in the Nigeria constitution

she can source for fund to run an NGO. Office of the first lady incures lots of money, which is bad

Let go of anything dat will waste resources

This man seems prudent and up to something unique. Let's see, hoping he stays truly unique till the end.

I'm beginning to sense some red flags with Soludo..

Try to observe our public holders with initial gra gra

I raised my red flag against PMB when he started his speech with I BELONG TO EVERYBODY AND I BELONG TO NOBODY

They always go below everyone's expectations at the end...

Initial gra
