Another Swipe At Peter Obi? – What Soludo Told Atiku In Anambra

Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo has described Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as one of the two leading candidates for the presidential election next year.

He made the remark at the Governor’s Lodge in Awka, Anambra State, on Thursday, before Atiku went to a campaign rally ahead of the elections.

“You are one of the two frontrunners for the presidency of Nigeria,” the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said.

Soludo had a few weeks back said there are only two contenders for the presidency and described others as “exciting drama!”

“The brutal truth (and some will say, God forbid) is that there are two persons/parties seriously contesting for president: the rest is exciting drama!” he wrote in a lengthy November article.

Governor Soludo welcomed Atiku to the state, saying, “Nigeria is one great country that, in my opinion, is destined by God to be the largest, most prosperous, and powerful black nation on the planet.”

He also stated that the state is open to receiving all candidates who can sell themselves to the South-East residents.

As the 2023 election approaches, Anambra should be a welcoming place for all to come and tell the people what they have in store for them, according to Soludo.

“Part of what we are asking for is to have a level playing ground for all and that is my own orientation,” he said.

The governor also urged Atiku to address erosion issues in Anambra if he wins the election next year.

If elected, the former vice president promised to revitalize the region’s industries.

“He (Soludo) said ‘Make sure that you control our erosion because Anambra is the erosion headquarters of the world. Erosion is destroying our farmlands, destroying our houses and everything we have’,” Atiku said.

“This is a very gigantic project. And I promised him I’m going to do that, and you know I have worked with Soludo before, he is a first-class patriotic Nigerian.
“You have an excellent governor. He also appealed to me about the Onisha Port and I said this time around we are going to dredge River Niger and Onisha Port will function.

“We are also going to help Anambra industrialise the state so that the state will create as many jobs for our young men and women.”
