Soludo Collected $28m To Blackmail Obi? – Fresh Details Emerge
Prof. Charles Soludo, governor of Anambra State, has denied collecting $28 million from anyone or any party in order to blackmail Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Soludo made the remarks while fielding questions from reporters in Awka, Anambra State’s capital, following the Thanksgiving mass for Most Rev. Paulinus C. Ezeokafor in honor of his 70th birthday at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, where he met Obi.

“If I had truly received $28 million to blackmail my brother, Peter Obi, I should be extremely wealthy today,” the Anambra governor asserted.
“For those forging blackmail and all that, including the one they said I collected bribe to say what I said, I asked them to bring it so I will use it to construct roads for Anambra people. If Soludo is into bribery, I would have been a multi-trillionaire now.
“Today is very special. When we came into the service, it was the first time, Obi and I are meeting at a public event and in a Catholic Church which the two of us belong to. I think it was divine.
“When I came in, I quickly went to where he sat and hugged him, people watched with bewilderment as if it was a drama, asking if it was not the same people quarrelling,” he added.
In response to their perceived rift, Soludo stated that it is political, emphasizing that he spoke with Obi only two times last night and that politics has not crept into their relationship as brothers.
“There is no rift between Obi and me at a personal level. Nobody snatched each other’s wife. What appears to be the rift between us is fundamental political differences. Nothing else.
“On the fundamental differences we have, we are going to meet in the next few weeks. We’ve agreed to discuss and iron out our differences,” he maintained.
