2023: Soludo Denies Mocking Peter Obi

Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo has denied the allegation that he mocked the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party Mr Peter Obi.

Soludo described the report as the handy work of fifth columnist whose stock in trade is to malign the image and republicans of public officers.

The Chief Press Secretary to Soludo, Christian Aburime who conveyed the feeling of the governor on Sunday said the alleged statement was totally false.

"Our checks reveal the statement was a total misrepresentation by an overzealous reporter who was not among the journalists present when Governor Soludo spoke extempore during his interaction with some audience after his 100 days in office media broadcast

"The above statement could best be described as an attempt by some misguided elements to cause disaffection between the Labour Party Presidential candidate, His Excellency, Peter Obi and his party leadership

"We therefore wish to caution those wishing to cause mischief by publishing false and misleading stories to desist from doing so

"The public should please disregard the entire statement as it never emanated from Governor Soludo."
