The Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo has met with the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi days after an unpleasant publication by the former.
The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) lashed out at Obi over his 2023 presidential ambition. He told him he is not qualified to be president and berated some of the achievements of his former predecessor.
In an article he titled ‘History beckons and I will not be silent (Part 1)’, Soludo gave the reasons Obi cannot win the 2023 election.
The Anambra State Governor and former CBN chief in the piece claimed he knows the game Peter Obi is playing.
The former CBN governor noted that even though he knows Obi won’t win, he still wished him well and even prays for him.
He said: “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 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!
Peter Obi and Charles Soludo met at St. Patrick’s Cathedral Awka during the Thanksgiving mass for Most Rev. Paulinus C. Ezeokafor in celebration of his 70th birthday today, November 24, 2022.
Governor Soludo reportedly stepped out from his pew and walked over to Peter Obi’s seat to greet him just before the mass started.
