Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, an Igbo socio-cultural association, has tackled Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, over his recent comment about Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).

The association is different from Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the group headed by George Obiozor.

In an article published on Monday, Soludo had said Obi knows that “he can’t and won’t win” the presidential election.

Reacting in a statement issued on Tuesday, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, secretary-general of the association, said the group has taken Soludo begore “two famous divinities and deities” over his comment.

The group said it is “unreasonable public behaviour” for Soludo to “cast aspersions” on Obi who is his kinsman and presidential candidate from the south-east.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has advised Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo to concentrate on the current crisis in Anambra State and APGA and halt casting innuendo and aspersions on the person of Mr Peter Obi who is not in the same political party nor fighting the Anambra State Government,” the statement reads.

“Governor Soludo transgressed in choosing to revolt against the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, who is his brother and predecessor.

“Ndigbo has dragged Governor Chukwuma Soludo to the two famous divinities and deities (Chokoleze in Mbaise and ubiniukpabi in Arochuku) for his unreasonable public behavior.

“The Governor behaves like he was fighting Peter Obi over his future ambition to be President in 2031.

“Our direct response to Governor Soludo’s verbal diarrhoea against Peter Obi is that Governor Soludo’s actions are ridiculous, unreasonable and premature. There was no locus for the Governor’s outburst, and the Igbo 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 Obi’s Presidency in 2023.

“Governor Soludo exposed and indicted himself of treachery when he discredited APGA and Labour Party’s Presidential candidates as not viable alternatives to win the 2023 elections.”


The group said Nigerians should “disregard” Soludo’s comment about Obi and Philip Umeadi, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

“He had 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 2023,” the group added.

Amotolongbo:
Instead of dragging Soludo ti their deities, why can’t they just appeal to their deities to make the region a prosperous one, free of innocent killings and disasters such as flooding and erosions?

youngbabaj:
Please what did soludo call igbo politics again?

Christistruth00:




Idol Worshoppers don’t think that way

Love and Compassion is not their Strongest point

They Prefer to see thunder and fire falling from Heaven

That was why Jesus had to tell James and John you don’t know the type of spirit you are of

When they asked Jesus to Call Down Fire from Heaven on their Opponents

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.

-- Gov Soludo 2022.

Aufbauh:
I can't just understand how a group of people that mouthed & sought for a level playing field in the land detest dissenting voices in their midst.

No matter what Soludo has already done justice to his conscience and the truth. The substance of his article cannot be withdrawn anymore.

Nayture147:
Igbos are quite worse in this regard. It is becoming more and more obvious the kind of people they really are.

I even wish y’all Biafla agitations can be granted at once. Not much difference between Igbos and the northerners they all hate so much.

A governor expressed his views, which is even close to the truth, una turn ham to enemy straight up.

You guys eyes will open very shortly, February is here, then we shall restore some sanity to the social media at least.

OBI cannot and will not be President in this forthcoming election. Very Simple and Clear.
