Sir Silas Ikeh, founder New Haven Estate Nkwelle Ezunaka, Human Rights Activist and a key Igbo Community leader in the South East has berated Gov. Charles Soludo of Anambra State over his recent statement that attacked and condemned the aspiration of Mr. Peter Obi the Labour Party Presidential Flag bearer noting that the governor unwarranted outburst was a betrayal which was born out of envy and hatred just as he applauded the Ohaneze Ndigbo for adopting Mr. Peter Obi as the candidate of the South East in the spirit of equity.

Making this known while reacting to Gov. Soludo statement on Peter Obi aspiration as well as the recent adoption of Peter Obi by Ohaneze Ndigbo to journalists last Tuesday, Ikeh asked Gov. Soludo to as a matter of urgency come out in the open and apologies as well as refrain from further casting aspersions on Peter Obi adding that if he did not stop that he is going to lose political relevance in Anambra State and the entire South East.

Saying that Peter Obi is about to create history as the current rate of support has shown that he is the first Igbo politician who has received support from all the geo political zones of Nigeria, he stated that Peter Obi is in the right track to clinch the presidency of the country and cautioned Gov. Soludo to sheat his sword and stop fighting the Lord anointed as his further attack will make the Igbos to hate and ostracized him.

Said he, “it is obvious that going by how Obi movement is going right now that the hand of God is at work, Gov. Soludo should not be a stumbling block, let him withdraw whatever he said before it is too late or the Igbos will ostracized him politically. It is the turn of the South East to be there, the people has seen it, Obi presidential project is to maintain equity for the Igbos in Nigeria, it is the turn of the South East period as other geo political zone has taken their turn”.

speaking also on the issue, Mazi Zeribe Ezeanuna, the APGA factional candidate for Ogbaru Federal Constituency cautioned that people should not crucify the governor for speaking his mind. He noted that Gov. Soludo was speaking the mind of a lot of politicians from the South East who have been beaten into silence by the phenomenal movement of Obidient Family.

He added that what Gov. Soludoi was expressing is the fear that the Igbos might lose out completely if at the end Peter Obi did not win adding again that the governor is contesting the conscience of all Igbos for us to think twice and not put all our eggs in one basket.
