Aburime stated this on Monday in Awka, while reacting to a viral message on social media, which alleged that Soludo had been contracted to eliminate Obi for a fee.

He said Soludo was the father of Anambra by his position and would not plot or collude to harm any lawful citizen of the state, including Obi.

The message, titled: ‘Hold Soludo Responsible If Anything Happens to Peter Obi’, said Soludo’s hatred for Peter Obi and everything he stands for is becoming glaring as things unfold.
