The Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has responded to Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, urging him to do better than he did during his [Peter Obi’s] term as governor.
Obi disclosed this during the 2022 Lagos Business School Alumni Conference on Tuesday.
Truth Live News can confirm that Obi’s statement was made in response to some of the criticisms he has recently been receiving from the current Anambra governor.
The LP candidate said, “He (Soludo) remains my brother. For other things (that) I did not succeed, God has given him the opportunity to succeed. For me, you don’t finish governance. You stop where you stop and other people continue from there. He is the Governor of my state, he is my senior brother and he is even more intelligent than me because he is a professor and I am a trader.
“So he knows more, so he should be able to do things better than I am doing it. I have done my little own as a trader, now the professor is there, he should be able to do his own as a professor. The schools I didn’t roof, he will roof them, another person will do his own too.”
Recall that Soludo said last Thursday that Obi’s investments in Anambra State are now “worth next to nothing,” and he even dismissed Obi’s chances in the 2023 election just yesterday. This is a development that has sparked widespread condemnation of him.
