Peter Obi: Ohanaeze invoke gods of Igbo land to judge Soludo

Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has invoked the gods of Igbo land to judge Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State for his perceived bid to sell off the chance of Ndigbo to have the next President come from the zone.

The group explained that for Soludo to have declared that Peter Obi of the Labour Party, his kinsman would not win the election when indications point otherwise and the time for the election, still far away point to the fact that he has been bought over for dirty jobs against his people.

In a press statement issued by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Secretary General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide the group said that the diatribe against Mr Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate by Soludo is beyond mere envy or jealousy.

The statement is a reaction to Soludo’s lengthy letter wherein he ruled Obi out of the presidential race, declaring that the LP candidate was merely catching a cruise.

Piqued by the outburst, the group described Soludo as a dog in the manger enrolled to discredit Obi’s legacies.

The Ohanaeze scribe said based on the unjustified development, “Ndigbo has dragged Governor Soludo to the two famous divinities and deities (Chokoleze in Mbaise and Ubiniukpabi in Arochuku) for his unreasonable public behaviour.”

He said it was clear that the Governor was fighting Peter Obi over his future ambition to be President in 2031.

“Governor Soludo’s actions are ridiculous, unreasonable and premature; there was no locus for the Governor’s outburst and the sanctions against Soludo to face Igbo deities will serve as a deterrent to Southeast politicians who have been hired by enemies of Ndigbo and Nigerians to derail the Obi’s Presidency in 2023.
