Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra state said the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi may win the February 25, 2023, presidential election in the state.

Soludo stated this in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, a political show monitored by our correspondent on Thursday.

He said, “I wish Peter Obi the best of luck. Let him go and compete as others,” “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.”

The governor referred to his piece in November 2022 where he said that Obi might win in Anambra but won’t win the overall presidential election.

He said, “In that piece, I even considered that Peter Obi might win in Anambra State. I did mention that.”

Soludo, however, doubted the chances of Obi to win the overall presidential election next month.

Governor Soludo, who is he new national leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), also said he has given Obi all the support a state government can offer to a former governor like Obi, who was in office between 2006 and 2014.

The Anambra governor said he has been fair to all parties campaigning in the state and has not denied them state facilities to use for rallies.

Recall that Soludo and Obi were at loggerheads over the state of Anambra economy and investments.

The Anambra governor, Soludo, had said the investments Obi left in government are worth close to nothing.

He said Obi couldn’t win the 2023 presidential election as there are “two persons/parties seriously contesting for president” – Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

But in his reply, however, Obi said he did his little as governor of Anambra and urged Soludo to do his best in the state as an economics professor.

The duo, after the tirade, met at a public function in Awka, where they embraced each other, a development that has been described by many as a “reconciliation move.”

If he like he should win in entire states of SE. All we are saying is an underachiever and a mediocre will not win the majority vote that would make him the president

The first question is whether Peter Obi’s opponents will get up to 10% votes

The second question is whether Soludo will win re-election especially if Peter Obi is elected president

Ok nice, but we Yoruba Christian's will never vote for Muslim Muslim ticket we are not fools, Muric even told Yoruba Muslims not to vote Yoruba Christian's and they all agreed

Who takes this clown serious again?

2 million Soludos cannot stop Obi's VICTORY in this coming election. Reality is beginning to dawn on him.

What most of these Igbo leaders don't know is that Obi is no more an Igbo candidate. We have gone pass this stage. It's the poor masses with Obi vs the corrupt criminals holding us down.

OBIDIENTLY we shall defeat them. It's same structure that stopped Buhari from fighting corruption they want to bring again. When some people will be bigger than the government. They will steal and the government cannot do anything because they spent a lot to bring the government. Now we want a structureless party. Nobody will come and be lobbying for stealing position because he sponsored A or B. Enough should be enough, suffering knows no tribe or religion.

We are queueing to buy fuel at N350 per liter. What a SHAME.

When inec announces Peter Obi winner, how will soludo sleep at night??

#onetermgovernor talking

Soludo, we never get time for you. We have a bigger fish to deal with

please allow him win the Anambra because that can be a national embarrassment.

ObiDatti have the capacity to make NIGERIA great again
