The Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo, says the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, may win the forthcoming presidential poll in his State.
Soludo said this while speaking on Channels Television on Thursday.
He said, “I wish Peter Obi the best of luck. Let him go and compete as others,” “We (APGA) are also competing in the same race. We have our own candidate (Peter Umeadi), who is also a son of the soil, coincidentally from Anambra State as well, and he will do his own bit, and get his own votes.
Recall that Soludo had, a few months ago, faulted Obi’s presidential ambition, saying he (Obi) will not win the February election.
In a piece which literally set the internet ablaze, Soludo rubbished Obi’s performance while serving as governor of Anambra State, stressing that the achievement of the LP candidate in the State was relatively nothing.
Referring to the article, Soludo said, “In that piece, I even considered that Peter Obi might win in Anambra State. I did mention that,” he said but doubted the possibility of the LP presidential candidate winning the overall election.
“I wish Peter Obi the best of luck. Let him go and compete as others.”
Soludo, also stated he has given Obi all the support a state government can offer to a former governor like Obi, who was in office between 2006 and 2014.
The Anambra governor said he has been fair to all parties campaigning in the state and has not denied them state facilities to use for rallies.
