VIDEO: I’ve Done My Part For Anambra, Soludo Should Do Better -Obi
Peter Obi, a presidential candidate for the Labour Party, responded to recent remarks made by Governor Charles Soludo of the state of Anambra by asserting that as a former governor of the state, he had done his fair share.
Obi urged Soludo to be better off as a professor during his speech at the 2022 Lagos Business School (LBS) Alumni Conference on Tuesday in Lagos.
According to him, “He (Soludo) remains my brother, we are very close. I remain prayerful for him. For other things which I didn’t succeed, God has given him 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. 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 government goes.”

Recall that Soludo had previously asserted that Obi’s investment in the Anambra state government was almost worthless.

The Labour Party‘s presidential candidate cannot prevail in the 2023 general election, according to the Anambra state.
In a piece on Monday by Soludo titled “History Beckons and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”
He stated, “Let’s be clear: Peter Obi knows that he can’t and won’t win. He knows the game he is playing, and we know too; and he knows that we know,” the article reads in part.
“The game he is playing is the main reason he didn’t return to APGA. The brutal truth (and some will say, God forbid) is that there are two persons/parties seriously contesting for president: the rest is exciting drama!
“That many Americans may not like the fact that Joe Biden (79 years) and Donald Trump (76 years) are two frontrunners for president in their parties does not remove the fact that if both of them emerge as candidates, definitely one of them will be president in 2024.
“As my brother, I wish him well and even pray for him. I told him during his courtesy call that my prayer is that himself or Prof Umeadi of APGA would win, why not?
“That is from my heart, but I also told him that my head and facts on the ground led me to know that it’s probability is next to zero (what I cannot say before you, I won’t say behind you).
“So I already told him my opinion. Indeed, there is no credible pathway for him near the first two positions, and if care is not taken, he won’t even near the third position.”
