Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi
and the governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo on Friday met in Awka.
The meeting which was held behind closed doors at the
Anambra State Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia, Awka South Local Government Area
lasted for about two hours.
The reason for the meeting was not made known to
journalists, as both leaders declined press interviews at the end of the
session.
It was, however, believed that their meeting had to do with
the presidential election of 2023.
Just a week ago, Soludo had in an address accused Igbos of
playing politics with the heart, rather than the brain every four years. He
said it was high time Igbo people came together to build a synergy with other
parts of the country if they must take a shot at the presidency.
Some political watchers had interpreted the speech to mean
that he was opposed to the presidential bid of Peter Obi but Friday’s
closed-door meeting left all guessing.
Meanwhile, the Chief Press Secretary to Soludo, Mr Christian
Aburime in a terse press statement on the visit failed to state their
discussions.
Aburime said: “Both leaders had a mutual discussion behind
closed doors. Afterwards, Mr Peter Obi commended Governor Soludo highly for the
great job he is doing in Anambra State.
“Governor Soludo on the other hand welcomed Mr Peter Obi to
Anambra as a prominent son of the State and wished him well on his Presidential
bid as the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party.”
