The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, says it has dragged Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, to deities over his statement on the presidential candidate of the Labour Party(LP) Peter Obi.

Soludo, in a lengthy article had lashed out at Obi, stating that he knows that he can’t and won’t win the 2023 presidential election.

In the article titled, ‘History beckons and I will not be silent (Part 1)’, Soludo added that the LP flagbearer is only playing games.

Ohanaeze in a statement signed by its Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, on Tuesday November 15, said it has dragged Soludo to two deities in Igbo land, for discrediting the legacies of Peter Obi.

“Ndigbo have dragged Governor Soludo to the two famous divinities and deities (Chokoleze in Mbaise and Ubiniukpabi in Arochuku) for his unreasonable public behaviour,” the statement read.

“Governor Soludo’s actions are ridiculous, unreasonable and premature; there was no locus for the Governor’s outburst and the sanctions against Soludo to face Igbo deities will serve as a deterrent to South-East politicians who have been hired by enemies of Ndigbo and Nigerians to derail the 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.

“How can a state governor of two presidential candidates (APGA and LP) make such a public declaration?

“He has 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 the 2023 elections.

“We advise Soludo to concentrate on the current crisis in Anambra State and APGA and stop casting innuendo and aspersions on the person of Mr. Peter Obi. The LP presidential candidate is not in the same political party with him and is not fighting the Anambra State Government.”
