Soludo Reportedly Fires Commissioner Over Poor Performance 

Governor of Anambra State, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has reportedly sacked the state Commissioner for Information, Paul Nwosu.

Sources close to the embattled commissioner revealed that Nwosu was relieved of his duties over alleged poor performance.

Another source claimed that the commissioner resigned and was not sacked.

Feelers from the Ministry of Information in the state have it that the commissioner have already dusted his table and moved on.

“As I speak to you, Mr Paul Nwosu has packed his bag, and we’re just waiting for the news to be announced by the Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Christian Aburime,” a source in the ministry confided in Investors King on Tuesday.

However, the governor’s Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, in a mobile phone conversation said that he is not aware of Nwosu’s sack but promised to get back to the media if anything like that happens.

As at the time of filing this report, it was not yet clear if the commissioner would be redeployed to another ministry.

Meanwhile, feelers have it that Dr. Law Mefor, a veteran communications strategist and a notable All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) member, has been lined up as a replacement.
