Following the change of guard of offices occupied by some appointees of the Imo State Government this week, indications that more aides of Governor Hope Uzodinma will either be dropped or swap positions in the anticipated minor cabinet reshuffle have emerged.
Recall that early this week, Uzodinma directed two Commissioners and Special Advisers to swap positions in what was referred to as minor cabinet shakeup.

Our sources where privileged to be informed that as part of measures geared towards changing the narratives in the Uzodinma administration, some of the appointees will have to swap positions and offices.

It was learnt that while selecting and allocating portfolios to appointees, Uzodinma merely engaged in what has appeared as a gamble by assigning offices to them.

But seven months after, Uzodinma was said to have noticed that while some are incompetent and do not have the capacity to handle the portfolios given to them, others are applying uncanny attitude suggesting that they are misfits in office.
A remarkable factor that was said to have influenced Uzodinma into thinkering of the swap is the clash of interest appointees exhibit for juicy government agencies as well as overbearing influence showcased against other aides of the governor.
