The Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has reacted to a claim that he s working against the presidential dream of one of his predecessors, Peter Obi.
He was said to have asked members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance not to vote for Obi.
In a statement on Wednesday, however, Soludo’s Press Secretary, Mr Christian Aburime, denied the allegations, saying Soludo never gave any instruction on Obi.
Aburieme said: “We note with disdain the fallacious and distasteful publication of a write-up with the above heading by faceless individual(s).
“We would have chosen to ignore this mischievous and utterly despicable report, but for the benefit of a few innocent Ndi Anambra who could be mis-informed by the write-up.
“The following should, however, be noted: That Governor Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, only held a private meeting with his party members of the APGA. This meeting is a routine gathering where issues concerning APGA are discussed.
“At no time during the meeting was Mr Peter Obi a point of discourse.
“It is pertinent to note that issues discussed at the meeting were purely issues relating to APGA affairs.
“We therefore urge Ndi-Anambra and members of the general public to completely ignore and disregard the publication in all its entirety.”
