Governor Chukuma Soludo of Anambra State says he has given presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, all the support a state government can offer a former governor.
He also said Obi, a former governor of the state, could win the February 25, 2023 presidential election in Anambra.
Soludo however doubted the LP’s flag bearer winning the overall presidential election.
“I wish Peter Obi the best of luck. Let him go and compete as others,” Soludo said on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday. “We (APGA) are also competing in the same race. We have our own candidate (Peter Umeadi), who is also son of the soil, coincidentally from Anambra State as well, and he will do his own bit, get his own votes.”
Soludo, the new national leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), referred to his piece in November 2022 where he said though Obi might win in Anambra but won’t win the overall presidential election.
“In that piece, I even considered that Peter Obi might win in Anambra State. I did mention that,” he said but doubted the possibility of the LP presidential candidate to win the overall election.
