The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has lashed out at Anambra State governor, Charles Soludo, over his statement on the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, (LP), Peter Obi.
Recall that Soludo, in a lengthy letter on Monday, lashed out at Obi, stating that he knows that he can’t and won’t win the presidency. He maintained that Obi was not ready for the presidential race, declaring he was merely catching a cruise.
However, the organisation, in an issued statement signed by its Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, yesterday, said it had dragged Soludo to two deities in Igbo-land, for discrediting the legacies of Peter Obi.
The Ohanaeze said: “Ndigbo have dragged Governor Soludo to the two famous divinities and deities (Chokoleze in Mbaise and Ubiniukpabi in Arochukwu) for his unreasonable public behaviour.
According to the organisation, “He has confirmed that he is the number one enemy of the new Nigeria, and was hired by an unpopular presidential candidate who is looking for Igbo politicians to pull down Obi’s popularity ahead of the 2023 elections.
“We advise Soludo to concentrate on the current crisis in Anambra State and APGA and stop casting innuendo and aspersions on the person of Peter Obi. The LP presidential candidate is not in the same political party with him and is not fighting the Anambra State Government”.
