2023: I Never Worked Against Peter Obi — Governor Soludo

Governor Chukwuma Soludo has refuted reports that he is working against the Labour Party presidential flag bearer, Peter Obi.

The Anambra State Governor's denial comes following reports that he instructed members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra to work against Obi at the 2023 polls. 

Speaking in a statement made available to journalists on Wednesday, Soludo’s Press Secretary, Christian Aburime clarified that Peter Obi has never been the subject of the party's meeting.

“We note with disdain the fallacious and distasteful publication of a write-up with the above heading by faceless individual(s).

“We would have chosen to ignore this mischievous and utterly despicable report, but for the benefit of a few innocent Ndi Anambra who could be misinformed by the write-up.

“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.

“We therefore urge Ndi-Anambra and members of the general public to completely ignore and disregard the publication in all its entirety”, the statement reads.
