Pan Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo says it has dragged Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo to Igbo deities over the governors comments against Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate.
Soludo had in a lengthy letter, ruled Obi out of the presidential race, declaring that the LP candidate was merely catching a cruise.
Ohanaeze’s Secretary General,,Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, in a statement on Tuesday described Soludo as a dog in the manger enrolled to discredit Obi’s legacies.
Isiguzoro said based on the unjustified development, “Ndigbo have dragged Governor Soludo to the two famous divinities and deities (Chokoleze in Mbaise and Ubiniukpabi in Arochuku) for his unreasonable public behavior.”
“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.
“Governor Soludo exposed and indicted himself of treachery when he discredited APGA and Labor Party’s Presidential candidates as not viable alternatives to win the 2023 elections.
“How can a State Governor of two Presidential candidates (APGA and LP) make such a public declaration.
“He has confirmed that he is the number one enemy of the New Nigeria and was hired by an unpopular Presidential candidate who is looking for Igbo politicians to pull down Obi’s popularity ahead of the 2023 election,” Ohanaeze further stated.
