Reports Of Rift Between Soludo, Obi False — Aburime

The Press Secretary to Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has dismissed reports of a rift between his principal and the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Aburime who spoke to newsmen on Wednesday, said that the relationship shared between the duo was that of friendship and brotherhood.

He further said that the alleged rift between Soludo and Obi is a figment of people’s imagination as they are brothers who may share different political opinions.

”Soludo’s relationship, friendship, and brotherhood with Obi is still intact, as against what many people think. I don’t know how people created and magnified a non-existent issue, and how they are reacting Governor’s comment

“As far as I know, there is no issue between Gov. Soludo and Obi. So I wonder why people disturb themselves and go about shouting in the media, overreacting and issuing one threat or the other over a non-existent issue they created.

“These are totally uncalled for and the people indulging in such should have a rethink,” he said

He also urged the youths who are threatening to dump heaps of refuse around the government house gates to desist from doing so.

”The youth should refrain from being used as weapons of destabilization instead of being part of the solution to the challenges facing the state.

”The youths are both the leaders of today and tomorrow. I wonder why they would allow themselves to be used by some individuals.

“Instead of threatening to dump refuse at the Government House, they should rally support for the government of Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, because his administration is actually working for the betterment of their lives.

“The governor wants to see that the youth of this present generation and the generation to come will have something that can make life more meaningful for them.

“Aside from giving the youths various key positions in his administration, Soludo’s government is also currently training and empowering thousands of youths across the state in different vocational skills; youth empowerment is a major focus of his administration

“So, I advise the youth to think twice,” he said.
