Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State, is my friend and I can’t believe he said that the Labour Party, LP, Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, would not win the 2023 Presidential election.
The chairman, Board of Trustees, BoT, Association of Music Film Producers and Marketers of Nigeria, AMFPMN, Prince Uzoma Ubaoha, made the insertion Thursday, in Onitsha, while reacting to the allegation that Soludo was envious of Obi’s rising political profile.
“I know Soludo very well, he is my friend and I can’t believe he said such thing and if he had said it, it may be a mistake because Igbo have no other person that will go for such position for now than Obi.
“If Soludo had said that Obi would not go, I will not because he is a friend and support him against the wishes and aspirations of the Igbo race. Obi is widely acceptable for the position by every tribe not because it is the turn of the Southeast but because he is the best of all presidential candidates.
“Obidient is a mass movement, especially by Nigerian youths who are tired of the old horses. What the youths want now is a youth like themselves. So I will advise Sudo to apologise to Ndigbo not even Obi because nobody is happy with him since he said that Obi would not win.
“Human beings can make mistake, if actually he said so. Every mistake is pardonable . Who do you thing will be the next President if not Obi. Brothers should learn to be their brothers’ keepers,” he pleaded.
The BoT chairman said further that Obidient movement was like the EndSARS protest that was a revolution that would have taken over leadership of this country if not that the SARS was sacked immediately over abominations it committed.
“This Obidient movement was like the EndSARS protest that was a pure revolution by youths. Same thing is going to play out now by voting come the 2023 election. The elders must leave leadership for the youths,” he vowed.
He said that, “Obi has given the youths hope , he is not tribalistic, he is a youth, his achievements in Anambra speak for him and I know what he did in Anambra, Anambra State Integrated Development Strategy, ANIDS, which is development of all sectors of the economy.
