Former Minister of Education. Obiageli Ezekwesili has been appointed by the Anambra State Governor-elect, Charles Soludo, to head his transition team, DailyPost reports.
Soludo, who is expected to suceed the current governor of the state, Chief Willie Obiano, will be inaugurated in March 2022.
It will be recalled 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.
In the mean time, Mrs Ezekwesili is yet to release an official statement regarding her appointment.
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.
