Peter Obi replies Soludo in an unexpected manner
Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi has replied governor of Anambra State Charles Soludo over his recent comments.
Soludo, hours after speaking on a live TV that Obi’s investment in Anambra State when he was governor is now worth next to nothing, released a lengthy statement on Monday. The major highlight of the statement is that Peter Obi cannot win the 2023 presidential election and will not even come second.
While many expected Obi to lash out at Soludo in the same measure, the presidential candidate was unexpectedly calm and mature in his response.
Speaking at the Lagos Business School on Tuesday, Obi described Soludo as his brother, and said when a government vacates office, another takes over and continues with the other projects left undone.
He said: “Soludo remains my brother, we are very close. I remain prayerful for him. For other things I didn’t succeed in, God has given him the opportunity to do it and succeed.
“So, if there is anything pending, governance doesn’t finish, people are still in government in America, so you stop where you will stop, other people will continue from there.
“He is the governor of the state; he is my senior brother; he is even more intelligent than me because he is a professor, I am a trader, so he knows more and will 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 will do his own as a professor, the schools I didn’t roof, he will roof them; that’s how the government goes.”
