Earlier on Wednesday, outgoing Governor, Willie Obiano, conducted Soludo round the Government House facilities after handling over to him officially at a brief ceremony.
The event was to fulfill constitutional requirement to avert any vacuum before the physical and public swearing in of the governor today.
