The apex socio-cultural organisation in Igbo land, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has lashed out at Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, over his comment on a former Governor of the state and presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi.
This was as the Igbo group said it had dragged Soludo to two deities in Igbo land, for discrediting the legacies of Peter Obi.
The group said this in a statement signed by its Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, on Tuesday.
Soludo, had in a lengthy letter, maintained that Obi was not ready for the presidential race, declaring he was merely catching a cruise.
But in the statement, Ohanaeze said, “Ndigbo have dragged Governor Soludo to the two famous divinities and deities (Chokoleze in Mbaise and Ubiniukpabi in Arochuku) for his unreasonable public behaviour.
“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.
