Soludo Being Sponsored To Attack Peter Obi – Labour Party

Published

on

The Presidential Campaign Council of Labour Party has lambasted Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State for saying that its candidate, Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election.

Recall that the Anambra Governor had in an article on Monday, claimed that Peter Obi cannot win the 2023 presidential election.

In an article, he titled ‘History beckons and I will not be silent (Part 1)’, Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for disputing the investments made by Obi during his tenure as Anambra governor.

Soludo asserted that Peter Obi knows the game he is playing which is the main reason he didn’t return to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

He, however, said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and also toying with the destiny of millions of Igbo.

Reacting to the development, the Chief Spokesperson for the LP Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by the opposition to weaken Obi’s chances in the South East.

In a chat with THISDAY on Monday night, Tanko advised Soludo to concentrate on governance and avoid comments that might put himself and the state in danger.

He said, “We want to believe that Soludo is being sponsored in order to attack our base in the South-east, because, in the first instance, we have no correlation with Soludo. So, why has he decided to attack our principal?

“It seems to us that it’s a grand plan to try to see if they can weaken us from our base. But the truth is that they are making us even more popular. The people are the ones even responding to the attacks. But we want to advise that it’s very good that Soludo should look at the future and not the present because he is just starting as a governor.

“He has not done anything yet. Not even a block has he put on the ground and yet, he is putting the people of Anambra State in dilemma and in danger. He should be conscious enough to know the dangers he is putting himself and the people of Anambra into.”

Tanko, however, failed to mention those allegedly sponsoring Soludo, adding that the Anambra governor is clearly out to attack Obi.

He added, “He could be sponsored from any angle. We cannot be specific but it’s very clear because instead of facing governance, he is attacking Obi.”
