The inauguration of Charles Soludo as the next governor of Anambra is to last for only 20 minutes.

The inauguration is slated for March 17, 2022.

C-Don Adinuba, the state Commissioner for Information and Enlightenment, told journalists on Wednesday in Awka that a lot of activities would be shelved during the swearing-in.

“The entire ceremony will last some 20 minutes,” Mr Adinuba said.

“The public, traditionally comprising entertainers and the rest who cannot perform any useful roles, are not expected.

 “Of course, there will be family members, party and officials who will be served with finger foods, water and beverages,” he stated.

Mr Adinuba, who equally functioned as the director, media and Publicity to Mr Soludo 2021 campaign organisation said only 50 persons would feature at the inauguration.

Mr Soludo, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, had earlier 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.
