The apex Igbo socio-political organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo,
has listed punishments that would be meted out to the Anambra State Governor,
Chukwuma Soludo, over his recent attack on the Labour Party, LP, presidential
candidate, Peter Obi.
Ohanaeze Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro said Ndigbo
would ensure that Soludo never gets a second term as Governor.
Speaking, Isiguzoro said the body would back any move by the
Anambra State House of Assembly to remove Soludo from office in the nearest
future.
Isiguzoro warned that the former Governor of the Central
Bank of Nigeria, CBN, would face great challenges because the people of the
state would rise up against him.
According to the Ohanaeze scribe, the Southeast would see
Soludo as the enemy who worked against their 2023 presidential chances.
He said: “For Soludo to have come out to insult the
candidate of Nigeria, he might not return to the office because Ndigbo would
punish him by making him a one-term governor. Soludo may face a great political
challenge in Anambra State because the masses will rise against him.
“The people of the Southeast will now see him as an enemy
and the chief political undertaker of the chances of the Southeast to emerge in
2023.
“There must be political repercussions and one of which is
that the Ndigbo would task the Anambra State House of Assembly to do the
needful.
“Ndigbo will look away to remove all those bad eggs who have
mortgage our political interest, those who have portrayed us in bad light that
we are not united.
“For him to have shown and demonstrated that he was been
enrolled to come and thwart being the Governor of two presidential candidates,
APGA and Labour Party in 2023, and is the best person to be hired as an
undertaker to bury Peter Obi’s presidency, this has begun the end of his
political sojourn as the Governor of Anambra State.
“In the nearest future, the Igbos will encourage anything
that would make the Anambra House of Assembly remove Soludo out of the way.
“Ndigbo will rise up in any gathering to challenge the views
of Soludo to the great Igbo nation. Soludo’s activities in the last few days
have been an affront and slap on the Igbo nation, and Ndigbo would return such
with a very big sanction, and the political sojourn of Soludo as the Governor
of Anambra State is over.”
The former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Governor had said
Obi would never win the 2023 presidential election.
Soludo anchored his claim on the series of attacks on him
for downplaying the investment claims by Obi during his tenure as governor.

The maturity through which Obi answers his critics including Soludo is getting me more endear to him. It is insultive for a man of Soludo's caliber allowing himself to be used like that. A professor who has done nothing for the state is talking down on a business man who has done something in his small way for the State. Shame!
