The Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has
denied the allegations that he is working against the ambition of the Labour
Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
The governor’s reaction is coming following reports that he
ordered members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in Anambra to work
against Obi at the polls.
According to the report, it claimed that Soludo charged
Anambra APGA to work against Obi, because he was dreaming of the Presidency
after Atiku Abubakar.
But in a statement made available to journalists in Awka on
Wednesday, Soludo’s Press Secretary, Mr Christian Aburime, denied the
allegations, saying that at no time during the meeting was Obi a point of
discourse.
The statement came with the caption, ‘Re: Soludo charges
Anambra APGA to work against Peter Obi, dreams of Presidency after Atiku’.
It read in part, “We note with disdain the fallacious and
distasteful publication of a write-up with the above heading by faceless
individual(s).
“We would have chosen
to ignore this mischievous and utterly despicable report, but for the benefit
of a few innocent Ndi Anambra who could be mis-informed by the write-up.
“The following should, however, be noted: That Governor
Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, only held a private meeting with his party members of the
APGA. This meeting is a routine gathering where issues concerning APGA are
discussed.
“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.”
