JUST IN: Obi Bounces Back As He Finally Replies Soludo Over His Performance As Former Governor

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, has responded to Anambra Governor Chukwuma Soludo about his performance as a former governor.

Obi responded on Tuesday, saying he hopes Soludo corrects his mistakes as Governor while also making his own mark.

Soludo argued that the investments Obi claimed to have made for the state as Governor are now nearly worthless.

Soludo had also questioned Obi’s decision to invest state resources in SabMiller, a company in which he owns a stake, when there were schools without roofs or classrooms, local governments without roads, and hospitals without doctors and nurses in the state.

However, Obi stated at the Lagos Business School Alumni Conference on Tuesday that the investment he made has resulted in the employment of over 10,000 people in the state.

The LBS Alumni Day, with the theme “The Leadership Imperative,” is one of the engagement platforms that hosts political office seekers to answer questions and share their vision for the country.

Obi also stated that government is a continuum, and Soludo, who is a Professor and more intelligent than himself, a trader, has the opportunity to outperform him now that he is governor.

In his words: “When you spread your investment, some will go up, some will come down. But overall, the company is still there. The company is still doing well. It’s still part of a global chain and everything. I needed to explain it not because I’m defending comments made by my brother.”

“My brother is a brother and remains my brother. We’re very close. I remain prayerful for him. Of other things which I didn’t succeed, God has given him the opportunity to do it and succeed.

“For me if there is anything pending, governance, governance you don’t finish. People are still in government in America. So, you stop where you stop. Other people will continue from there.

“He is the Governor of the State; he is my senior brother, he is even more intelligent than me because he is a professor, I am a trader, so he knows more and will be able to do things better than I am doing it.

“I have done my little own as a trader, now the professor is there he will do his own as a professor, the schools I didn’t roof he will roof them, that’s how government goes.

“The one they said is worthless, we invested 3.5 billion naira in International Breweries…that facility is there employing directly and indirectly over 10,000 Anambarians. The shares was at a time being sold at N50, today the shares is about N5 or so.”
