Contrary to claims that Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo is working against the aspirations of Labour Party, LP, Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, at the forthcoming 2023 Polls, the Governor has vehemently denied it.

Soludo’ reaction is coming at a time when reports was rife that he ordered members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, in Anambra State to work against Obi at the polls.

In a statement made by the Governor through his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, in Awka, the State Capital saw the Governor denying the allegation.

The statement titled “Re: Soludo charges Anambra APGA to work against Peter Obi, dreams of Presidency after Atiku” read in part, “We note with disdain the fallacious and distasteful publication of a write-up with the above heading by faceless individual(s).

“The following should, however, be noted: that Soludo only held a private meeting with APGA members.

“At no time during the meeting was Peter Obi a point of discourse.

“We, therefore, urge Ndi-Anambra and members of the public to completely ignore and disregard the publication in its entirety.”
