The Anambra State Chairman of the All Progressives Grand
Alliance (APGA), Ifeatu Obi-Okoye, has ruled out the possibility of any strong
political force removing Prof Chukwuma Soludo from the governorship seat in
2025.
The chairman who spoke with journalists in his office in
Awka, the Anambra State capital, said APGA was not afraid of the impact of the
Obidient movement, insisting that it would fizzle out before long.
The obidient movement is a political support group of the
former governor of the state and Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter
Obi.
Obi-Okoye said, twice APGA has beaten candidates sponsored
by Obi and would most likely beat anyone he sponsors by 2025.
He said, “By Labour candidate you mean Valentine Ozigbo, is
it not? Unfortunately, that name has become synonymous with losing elections.
If he contests, he will be contesting against his homeboy from Aguata (Soludo).
“So, I can say the ObIdient man (Obi), APGA has beaten him
twice. We beat him when he brought a man from Ogbaru, Oseloka Obaze, and we
beat him again when he brought Val Ozigbo.
“What happened in the last Obidient Movement is a lesson to
Igbo and should not repeat itself. It was like what happened in 1967 when we
went to war with Nigeria without preparation. It is not likely to happen to
Ndigbo again.
“There will be no Obidient movement in the Anambra
governorship election because that movement was tied around an emotion to
become president of Nigeria. It had nothing to do with Peter Obi as a person.”
Obi-Okoye added that APGA has admonished Soludo to
concentrate on his good governance and deliver quality infrastructures, which
he said will make his victory seamless.
He said the governor has several projects lined up and that
before the end of next year, all the projects would crystalize, and speak for
him.
