The Anambra Governor had in an article on Monday, claimed that Obi cannot win the 2023 presidential election.
Katch Ononuju, the Special Adviser on Public Affairs to Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has said Anambra state Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo's latest outburst against Obi amounts to nothing.
The Anambra Governor had in an article on Monday, claimed that Obi cannot win the 2023 presidential election.
In an article, he titled ‘History beckons and I will not be silent (Part 1)’, Soludo stated that the former Governor of Anambra State knows that he cannot win the presidential race.
According to him, though he knows Obi won’t win, he still wished him well and even prays for him.
Reacting in a statement on Monday night, Ononuju, said Soludo’s comments will not and cannot dent Obi’s image and popularity which the Nigerian youths have given to him.
Ononuju added that the attacks by South East politicians such as Soludo show that the LP presidential candidate is a national project.
He said, “Peter Obi is indeed a Nigerian project, politicians from the South East including his governor have made statements attacking him in public without denting his reputation nor his popularity. His resilience is due to the trust and support of Nigerians. Peter Obi is a national project, politicians from the Southeast also attack him.
“Youths are supporting Peter Obi because he’s the most competent and trustworthy candidate and the only one amongst the candidates that we can hold accountable. Tinubu and Atiku made several promises to Nigerians when they conspired to install Buhari.”
