A chieftain of All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, Sir Chikwe Udensi has expressed disappointment over the outburst of Prof. Charles Soludo, the Anambra state governor against the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi.
The governor had in an article on Monday called to question the leadership of Obi as a former governor in Anambra, saying his investment is worth next to nothing.
Soludo also went further to say that Obi will not win the 2023 presidential election as he has no structure in place to support his ambition.
Reacting to Prof. Soludo’s position, Sir Udensi, an Interpol Systems Consultant while featuring on Love FM’s Open Parliament in Umuahia streamed by ABN TV said he expected Soludo to charge Peter Obi on corruption and embezzlement and not on investment.
He also accused Soludo of wooing Peter Obi to seek presidential election on the platform of. APGA, an offer Obi rejected.
Sir Udensi wondered if Soludo knew Peter Obi would fail in the presidential election why he invited him to join APGA and even prayed for him at the end of his article against Obi.
He faulted the position of the governor, saying Peter Obi was one of the former governors in Nigeria who never left office with debt, rather he handed over billions of Naira both in cash and assets to his successor, Willie Obiano.
“Imagine charging Peter for investment while others are being charged for embezzlement, you are charging Peter for investment.
“Peter Obi is the only governor in the history of electoral process and among all the 36 states governors of the federation, to have left the account of a state in green.
“Records have it that he left billions of Naira in the account. Having listened to the testimony of former Governor Obiano, that he was able to build airport and the International conference centre from the savings left by Peter Obi.
“Peter Obi deserves commendation not condemnation, he paid and never owed salaries throughout his tenure as Governor for eight years.
“He built schools, he built hospitals, he built roads and the beautiful thing is that throughout these expenditures, he borrowed no penny,” he noted.
