Under Pressure Soludo Claims He Helped Obi Win Anambra State

The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has through his aide affirmed making it possible for Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi to win penultimate Saturday’s presidential election in the state saying he provided the positive environment for the election.

He spoke as he decried the call by Obi for voters in Anambra State to vote for Labour Party House of Assembly candidates in the forthcoming legislative elections.

He further described the call by Obi to Labour Party House of Assembly candidate not to antagonize Soludo when they win the elections as deceptive.

GWG.ng reports that Soludo was widely acknowledged to have rebuffed Soludo’s presidential bid dismissing his bid as far fetched. However, Obi despite what was seen as the disdain by Soludo won at least 95% of the votes in the state.

However, with the insurgency behind Obi still determined to propel Labour Party candidates into taking the major share in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Soludo speaking through his press secretary, Christian Aburime called on the voters to back away having in his words supported Obi in the presidential election.

Obi had on Friday met with those elected into the National Assembly and candidate for House of Assembly in the state during which he told them to ensure that they do not antagonize Governor Soludo when they win.

But reacting on Saturday, Aburime insisted that Obi’s call was rather deceptive, and was meant to deceive the people of Anambra against Soludo.

He said, “That call was meant to deceive Anambra people. Obi can not be talking about development in Anambra and also asking Anambra people to elect lawmakers from opposition party to work with Soludo.

“He worked with a legislature that was dominated by lawmakers from the Peoples Democratic Party when he first came in as governor, and he knows that it was not easy for him.

“He even suffered impeachment because of that, and we hope it is not the same thing he wants to set Soludo up for.

“Anambra people should go all out next Saturday and vote for APGA, if they want the developmental strides of the governor to continue.”

He said Obi could not be talking of development and at the same time talking of electing opposition politicians into the House of Assembly, “it is not done. It is deceit.”

“Anambra people supported Obi during the presidential election, and besides, Soludo refused to interfere as the people trooped out to vote for Labour Party, and that was even before Soludo made the environment conducive for people to come out and vote.

“We have voted Labour Party in the presidential election, but for the House of Assembly election, we are voting for APGA, and we want Anambra people to know so,” he added.
