Following my 12 August 2013 resignation and subsequent exit from the Anambra governorship race, I have been graciously invited by His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi, CON, to return to the service of Anambra State in my previous capacity as the Secretary to the State Government. After extensive personal discussions with
Gov. Obi, my family, constituents and friends, I have accepted Gov. Obi's gracious offer of reappointment, in the belief that I can still bring added value to purposeful governance and service of Anambra people as an advocate for continuity and sustainable good governance. I believe that we are entering the most critical phase of the Peter Obi administration, given
the need to consolidate all political, economic and developmental gains, ensure continuity and finish strong by winning the forthcoming gubernatorial elections and facilitating a seamless transition to the next APGA-led government in the state, God willing.
Consequently, I shall resume full duties as the Secretary to the State Government after a very brief vacation and family visit, and attending the forthcoming ANSG Executive Retreat in Johannesburg.
