Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has said that the presidential candidate of the Labour party, Peter Obi, knows he ”can’t and would not” win the 2023 presidential election.
Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has said that the presidential candidate of the Labour party, Peter Obi, knows he ”can’t and would not” win the 2023 presidential election.
Soludo stated this in a statement he released today November 14 in reaction to the backlash he received following the comment he made on Channels TV last week. During the interview, Soludo stated that the investments Obi made while he was governor of Anambra state are currently next to nothing. Many Nigerians slammed him for his comment.
Politician, Babatunde Gbadamosi, stated that Soludo is only ”Jealous” of Obi because the current Anambra governor ”wants to stop any Igbo man from getting the presidency before himself.”
Responding to the backlashes and allegations, Soludo in a lengthy statement released said;
“Let’s be clear: Peter Obi knows that he can’t and won’t win. “He knows the game he is playing, and we know too; and he knows that we know.
The game he is playing is the main reason he didn’t return to APGA. The brutal truth (and some will say, God forbid) is that there are two persons/parties seriously contesting for president: the rest is exciting drama! That many Americans may not like the fact that Joe Biden (79 years) and Donald Trump (76 years) are two frontrunners for president in their parties does not remove the fact that if both of them emerge as candidates, definitely one of them will be president in 2024.
When the revered Arch Bishop Chukwuma stated that in Enugu State, they were not obedient, he was ferociously bullied on social media. Any dissent is tagged a saboteur or, in my case, it could be that I want to contest for president after office or that I am envious of Peter Obi. Soludo envious of Peter Obi? Totally laughable!”
