The Anambra State Transition Committee has asked the public to ignore the report stating that the governor-elect, Charles Chukwuma Soludo, asked residents of the state to apply for political appointments.

The reaction came via a release titled: ‘Re: Leak of the zero draft of the programme document of Talent Hunt Initiative,’ signed by the executive director Transition Committee on behalf of the chairperson Anambra State Transition committee, Dr Oby Ezekwesili.

The release stated that “It has come to our attention that a wrong press release directing individuals to apply for political appointments in Anambra state has been circulating on various digital platforms.
