2023 Election: I Didn’t Tell APGA Not To Work For Peter Obi- Gov Soludo

The Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo, has said he did not at any meeting of the APGA tell chieftains of the party not to work for the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi.

 

Newsonline reports that Soludo said the report making round that he instructed All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) executives to work against the former governor of Anambra state was false and untrue.

 

Reports had emerged on Wednesday morning across social media platforms alleging that Soludo advised the chieftains of APGA to work for Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), alleging that Atiku would handover to an Igbo in 2027.

But the Chief Press Secretary to Soludo, Christian Aburime has said the reports were false.

 

He described the allegation as disdainful, fallacious and distasteful, especially the insinuation that Soludo hopes to succeed Atiku after his first term.

 

“We would have chosen to ignore this mischievous and utterly despicable publication but for the benefit of a few innocent Ndi Anambra who could be misinformed by the write-up.”

 

Aburime said the meeting with APGA chieftains was a routine gathering where issues concerning APGA were discussed, adding that at no time during the meeting was, Mr Peter Obi, a point of discourse.

 

“It is pertinent to note that issues discussed at the meeting were purely issues relating to APGA affairs. We, therefore, urge Ndi-Anambra and members of the general public to completely ignore and disregard the publication in all its entirety,” Aburime said.
