Governor-elect of Anambra State, Prof Chukwuma Soludo has declared that there will be no ceremony during his swearing-in ceremony.
The erstwhile Central Bank Boss had earlier stated that his administration will support local made brands such as Innoson Motor and Akwete.
Soludo debunked rumours of a N20 million budget for his swearing-in, saying there will be no fanfare, neither will there be a kobo spent on his inauguration day.
He also said the day was simply his first day at work, and even though it is a weekend, he would spend eight hours of the day working.
“I have made a wish that not even one Kobo of Anambra people’s money will be spent on that swearing-in ceremony. It is a wish, and I mean it. What are we spending money on? Just a few people coming to the inauguration and witnessing it, then I will open office and get down to work immediately.
“I do not wish any event, dancers or players and all that. I just want to show up for work, like every first workday. Though it is going to be a Friday, which is the weekend, I’m going to work for over eight hours that day.
“No ceremony, no event, no party, nothing. Not even 10 Kobo will be spent. So the people who are saying N20million has been budgeted should go and tell us where they will get that money. It is going to be work, work, work, and that is what we epitomize,” he added.
