Okorie Accuses Soludo of Undermining Peter Obi's Campaign
Chekwas Okorie, the founder of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), accused Anambra State Governor Prof. Chukwuma Soludo of leveraging his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to criticize Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). In a statement issued in Abuja, Okorie expressed disappointment at Soludo's alleged campaign against Obi, noting that Obi has consistently shown respect towards Soludo despite the latter's criticisms.
Okorie identified three key political events that he believes have fueled Soludo's animosity: Obi's victory over Soludo in the 2009 Anambra governorship election, Soludo's disqualification from the APGA governorship primary in August 2013, and the APGA senatorial primary for Anambra Central ahead of the 2023 election. Okorie referenced Soludo's 2022 article, "History Beckons And I Will Not Remain Silent," as a significant point in Soludo's public criticism of Obi.
He urged Soludo to focus on governing Anambra State, emphasizing the challenges that require the governor's attention.
