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.

That bish really took a piss walai


No wonder she got the slap

Na so Buhari start bit today the Office of the first lady is in existence. I wish Soludo the successs

I see Soludo and Obiano clashing before the end of the first year of this administration. Their style of governance is very different.


I think Soludo wants to use this governorship as a pedestal for greater things. From CBN governor down to Anambra State government is kind of soft-pedal. He could have easy taken a job at the IMF or world bank like others but he didn't.

Godspeed to him though

He should start implementing life changing projects and policies joor

That valedictory thunder of a slap delivered by Bianca is yielding positive results

No more overbearing arrogant and pompous First Ladies who assume the power of the position of their husband Governors to deal with regular folks and interfere unduly with state administration

Ebele Obiano knew Obiano was a weakling and hijacked the state from him.

She even used to sit on the Governor’s chair at state EXCO meetings as seen in the picture below and even slapping commissioners anyhow.

Good move by Soludo!

I don't see this man doing well,he's gragra is too much

Big deal. Buhari cancelled office of the first lady when he took office. Look what Nigeria has become under Buhari. Let's see what Anambra will turn to under Soludo.

At least Buhari confined his wife to ‘za other room’. Obiano ended up being little more than a houseboy to his own wife. Soludo seem to be following in Buhari footstep which is okay because thes women wahala dey too much.
See how Obiano wife dey disgrace him anyhow publicly before dat slap come reset her brain

Dividends of slap therapy

Whatever works to move governance forward is welcomed. Let's try it and if it fits, then let other state adopt it. Wastages need to be minimised.
