‘I Did My Little As Governor, You Should Do More As Professor’ – Peter Obi Responds Soludo

The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has responded to the criticism against him by Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State. PREMIUM TIMES reports.Information Guide Nigeria

Recall that Mr Soludo had, on Thursday, while appearing as a guest on Channels TV’s Politics Today, said the value of investments made by Mr Obi while he was the governor of the state was “worth next to nothing.”

Several persons, believed to be supporters of the LP candidate, frowned Mr Soludo for the comments.

However, in a long statement on Monday, the governor said he stood by his words and accused Mr Obi’s supporters of “bullying everyone who expresses the slightest of dissent.

Mr Soludo, a professor of economics, also criticised Mr Obi for rebuffing entreaties to return to All Progressives Grand Alliance where he was offered the party’s presidential ticket, according to Mr Soludo.

The governor predicted that Mr Obi would not win the 2023 presidential election, citing “lack of political structure” and poor voting strength of the Southeast, where the LP candidate hails from.

But responding on Monday, Mr Obi said although investments are bound to go up and down, a company where he made some of the investments as governor was still in business and has provided job opportunities to several residents of the state.JAMB Result

“The one (investment) they (Soludo) said is worthless, is that we invested N3.5 billion in International Breweries… That facility is there, employing directly and indirectly over 10,000 Anambarians. The shares were at a time being sold at N50. Today the shares are about N5 or so. Maybe, that was what was referred to (by Soludo). But that was less than five percent of what I left,” he said.
