Governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Soludo, has said that Peter Obi, presidential flag-bearer of the Labour Party for the 2023 election swore to Odumegwu Ojukwu, Late former Biafra warlord, that he would quit politics the day he leaves the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Governor Soludo said this in a piece he authored on Monday, titled: ‘History Beckons and I will not be Silent’.
The former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) lightly accused his predecessor of lack of sincerity with his promises.
“Someone reminded me that a mob has no head and hence cannot reason. The same Peter Obi was one of those who told Ndigbo that APGA was the vehicle through which Igbos would organize to engage the rest of Nigeria politically.
“He was said to have sworn to Ojukwu and publicly that he would quit politics the day he leaves APGA. The rest is history.
“When he was the Vice-Presidential candidate under PDP in 2019, the emotive train then dubbed the ticket “the Igbo project”,” Soludo said.
Soludo has come under attack from ‘Obidients’, a sobriquet coined and adopted by followers of Obi to show their support for the 2023 presidential ambition of the 61-year-old. It followed the governor’s comments during an interview on a national television where he alleged that the investment of the Labour Party presidential flag-bearer in the state government is “worth next to nothing”.
It’s funny coming from soludo, when obi was in pdp you didn’t talk…till now,cos he has a devastating chance?
Na bad belle dey worry soludo. Envy that God has highly honoured and favoured Obi greatly..
God shall disgrace him out of power. Yeye man.
Good will rather disgrace you for praying badly against a realist
Where was Soludo when such was done? What is the circumstance that brought him (Soludo) to APGA from PDP or APC where he sojourned earlier?
Prof., you have successfully eroded the respect people have for you and affirmed the Igbo ‘pull him down’ syndrome which usually deprives your people of their legitimate chances.
If this chance is lost, an Igbo man’s attempt at presidency shall not be taken seriously by people.
Peter Obi vs Soludo: Igbos’ll back impeachment – Ohanaeze list punshments for Anambra gov
By Seun Opejobi
The apex Igbo socio-political organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has listed punishments that would be meted out to the Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, over his recent attack on the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Ohanaeze Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro said Ndigbo would ensure that Soludo never gets a second term as Governor.
Speaking with DAILY POST, Isiguzoro said the body would back any move by the Anambra State House of Assembly to remove Soludo from office in the nearest future.
Isiguzoro warned that the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, would face great challenges because the people of the state would rise up against him.
According to the Ohanaeze scribe, the Southeast would see Soludo as the enemy who worked against their 2023 presidential chances.
He said: “For Soludo to have come out to insult the candidate of Nigeria, he might not return to the office because Ndigbo would punish him by making him a one-term governor.
Soludo may face a great political challenge in Anambra State because the masses will rise against him.
“The people of the Southeast will now see him as an enemy and the chief political undertaker of the chances of the Southeast to emerge in 2023.
“There must be political repercussions and one of which is that the Ndigbo would task the Anambra State House of Assembly to do the needful.
“Ndigbo will look away to remove all those bad eggs who have mortgage our political interest, those who have portrayed us in bad light that we are not united.
“For him to have shown and demonstrated that he was been enrolled to come and thwart being the Governor of two presidential candidates, APGA and Labour Party in 2023, and is the best person to be hired as an undertaker to bury Peter Obi’s presidency, this has begun the end of his political sojourn as the Governor of Anambra State.
“In the nearest future, the Igbos will encourage anything that would make the Anambra House of Assembly remove Soludo out of the way.
“Ndigbo will rise up in any gathering to challenge the views of Soludo to the great Igbo nation. Soludo’s activities in the last few days have been an affront and slap on the Igbo nation, and Ndigbo would return such with a very big sanction, and the political sojourn of Soludo as the Governor of Anambra State is over.”
The former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Governor had said Obi would never win the 2023 presidential election.
Soludo anchored his claim on the series of attacks on him for downplaying the investment claims by Obi during his tenure as governor.
