Labour Party Reacts As Soludo Tears Peter Obi’s Presidential Ambition Into Shreds

The Labour Party (LP) has claimed that Anambra State Governor Professor Chukwuma Soludo is being funded by unknown individuals in order to undermine the party’s support in the South-east.

The party advised Soludo to focus on governance and avoid comments that could endanger himself and the state.

Yunusa Tanko, the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party’s presidential campaign, spoke in response to Soludo’s recent statements that Mr Peter Obi would lose the 2023 presidential election.

Soludo predicted that Obi would finish third in the election. He used the governorship elections in Osun and Ekiti, where the LP fared poorly, as examples of what to expect in the polls.

Soludo stated that he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently attacked him for addressing state issues.

The former CBN governor had also come under heavy fire for disparaging Obi’s investment in the state during a television interview, which had lasted for nearly a week.

Reacting to these, Tanko said: “We want to believe that Soludo is being sponsored in order to attack our base in the South-east, because, in the first instance, we have no any correlation with Soludo. So, why has he decided to attack our principal?

“It seems to us that it’s a grand plan to try to see that if they can weaken us from our base. But the truth is that they are making us even popular. The people are the ones even responding to the attacks. But we want to advise that it’s very good that Soludo should look at the future and not the present, because he is just starting as a governor.

“He has not done anything yet. Not even a block has he put on ground and yet, he is putting the people of Anambra State in dilemma and in danger. He should be conscious enough to know the dangers he is putting himself and the people of Anambra into.”
