Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lashes Soludo Over Comment On Peter Obi

The Apex Socio-Cultural Organisation in Igbo land, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has faulted Anambra State Governor, Prof. Charles Soludo, over his comment on Peter Obi.

Prof Soludo has on November 14, 2022 mocked the former governor of Anambra State who doubled as Labour Party’s Presidential candidate for the 2023 general election, saying that Obi is not ready to win the election.

In their reaction, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo expressed sadness over Soludo’s stance on the leading presidential candidate and said, it had dragged Soludo to two deities in Igbo land, for negating the legacies of Peter Obi.

In a statement signed by its Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, on November 15, 2022, the group who described Governor Soludo’s action as ridiculous, unreasonable and premature, added that he lacks moral standing to discredit Peter Obi.

The statement said, “Ndigbo have dragged Governor Soludo to the two famous divinities and deities (Chokoleze in Mbaise and Ubiniukpabi in Arochuku) for his unreasonable public behaviour.

“Governor Soludo’s actons are ridiculous, unreasonable and premature; there was no locus for thee Governor’s outburst and the sanctions against Soludo to face Igbo deities will serve as a deterrent to South-East politicians who have been hired by enemies of Ndigbo and Nigerians to derail the Obi’s presidency in 2023.

“Governor Soludo exposed and indicted himself of treachery when he discredited APGA and Labour Party’s presidential candidates as not viable alternatives to win the 2023 elections.

“How can a state governor of two presidential candidates (APGA and LP) make such a public declaration?

“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 Mr. Peter Obi. The LP presidential candidate is not in the same political party with him and is not fighting the Anambra State Government,” the statement reads.
