Umeh Urges Soludo to Support Obi in Presidential Race

Victor Umeh, the Senator representing Anambra Central, cautioned Governor Chukwuma Soludo not to undermine Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress. Umeh described any such action as an abomination that could lead to conflict.

Speaking at a gathering in Anambra State, Umeh asserted that any Igbo person who refuses to support Obi is an enemy of the Igbo race. He emphasized the need for unity among the Igbo people, especially as others from different regions support President Bola Tinubu.

Umeh, a former National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, claimed he played a significant role in Soludo's rise to the governorship, stating that no one has become governor of Anambra State since 2003 without his influence. He urged Soludo to honor his position and not sabotage Obi, reinforcing that supporting Obi is crucial for the Igbo community's success in the upcoming election.
