Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State on Wednesday denied asking people to work against Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party for the 2023 election.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that a report had claimed that Governor Soludo ordered members of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra State to work against Obi, a former governor of the state, at the 2023 election.
But in a statement made available to POLITICS NIGERIA by Soludo’s Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, the governor denied issuing such directive.
“The following should, however, be noted: That Governor Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, only held a private meeting with his party members of the APGA.
“This meeting is a routine gathering where issues concerning APGA are discussed.
“At no time during the meeting was Mr Peter Obi a point of discourse.
“It is pertinent to note that issues discussed at the meeting were purely issues relating to APGA affairs.
“Therefore, we urge Ndi-Anambra and members of the general public to completely ignore and disregard the publication,” the statement reads.
