PHOTOS: Peter Obi meets Soludo in Anambra after critical article

Peter Obi, the presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party (LP), has met with Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra.

The duo met at a thanksgiving mass in line with the 70th birthday celebration of Paulinus Ezeokafor, a reverend, at St.Patrick’s Cathedral in Awka, Anambra.

Their meeting comes days after Soludo, through an article, said Peter Obi cannot win in the 2023 elections.

In response to Soludo’s article where he criticised Obi’s administration as governor, Obi said he is just a trader, while Soludo, a professor, can do better than him.

Speaking at the 2022 Lagos Business School (LBS)  alumni conference, Obi said government is a continuum, and as such, Soludo can do better for the state since he is now in office.

“For other things which I didn’t succeed, God has given him opportunity to do it and succeed. For me, if there is anything pending, governance doesn’t finish. You stop where you stop; other people will continue from there.

“He is a governor of my state; my senior brother. He’s even more intelligent than me. He is a professor; I’m a trader. So, he will be able to do things more than I have done it.”
