“I Did Not Meet With Tinubu” – Soludo Denies Meeting With Tinubu To Stop Peter Obi, LP

Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has denied reports that he met with the All Progressive Congress (APC) president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at the Imo State Government House in Owerri, on how to prevent the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, from pursuing the process to reclaim his mandate through the courts.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, pronounced Tinubu the victor of the presidential election on February 25.

According to an INEC declaration last Wednesday, the former Lagos State governor received 8,794,726 votes, defeating Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who received 6.96 million votes, and Obi, who received 6.1 million votes.

According to reports, a helicopter arrived at Awka at about 1:30 a.m. on Sunday and carried Soludo to a covert meeting at Government House in Owerri.

The meeting’s specifics were unknown, but Tinubu was believed to be concerned about Obi’s growing popularity and asked Soludo for assistance in finding a solution.

But, in a statement sent through his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, Soludo stated that the charges were baseless and filthy.

Aburime, in a statement made available to journalists in Awka, on Monday, said, “The general public is advised to disregard the allegations. Ndi Anambra should also disregard all the insinuations and come out to vote massively for APGA this Saturday for the State House of Assembly election in order to sustain the developmental strides of the present administration of Governor Soludo.”

“If certain people could sit somewhere and cook up a story of this nature, it becomes highly reprehensible and certainly deserves to be condemned by every right-thinking person.”
