Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo has stated why Peter Obi does not have his backing, adding that the Labour Party and the Obidient movement are offshoots of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Soludo who recently dismissed Obi’s investments in Anambra State as next to nothing declared support for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Justice Peter Umeadi.
Speaking via a statement through his Special Adviser on Political Matters, Dr Alex Obiogbolu, the former CBN Governor while explaining his choice noted that APGA remains the third largest political party in the country.
“APGA remains the third largest political party in Nigeria, considering the number of political offices it has won.
“APGA has a State governor, members of the National Assembly and members of the state assemblies.
“APGA does not consider the wave of the ‘Obidient Movement’ as a threat towards achieving its set goals in 2023.
“The LP and the ‘Obidient Movement’ are offshoots of the PDP. Therefore, they pose a big threat to PDP, not APGA”, he stated.
