Dr. Willie Obiano, a technocrat who worked as a banker was today sworn in as Governor at the state at the Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka. The inaugural session was witnessed by the outgoing Governor, Peter Obi, Senator Ben Obi, Special Adviser to the President on Inter-party Affairs, Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State, National Chairman of APGA Chief Victor Umeh, Senator Maggery Okadigbo, former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.Gen Azubuike Ihejirika, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu among other dignitaries as well as the People of Anambra state. The swearing-in was carried out by the state Chief Judge, Justice Peter Umeadi, in front of an overwhelming crowd.
Governor Peter Obi after eight years of service, bows out of office amidst  praises and chants of excitement from the people of Anambra State who appreciated his administration as having performed creditably well. Taking the oath of office, the new governor, alongside his deputy, Dr. Nkem Okeke, laid much emphasis on security, power, and agriculture as areas of priority. Outgoing Governor, Peter Obi, expressed satisfaction in what he was leaving behind. He reminded the people that when he assumed office in 2006, there was no office for him to move into and no official car for him, adding that his successor, Obiano was lucky to have things in place. Emphasizing the financial stability of the state to accommodate more development, Obi went further to solicit support from the people for the new governor.
