Gov Charles Soludo of Anambra state has described the allegation that he mocked the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party Mr Peter Obi over his ambition to run for the 2023 general election.
Soludo further described the report as the handy work of fifth columnist whose stuck in trade is to Maline the image and republicans of public officers.
According to a release by the Chief Press Secretary to Soludo Mr Christian Aburime it contended that;
The above statement allegedly credited to Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR is totally false and unfounded
Our checks reveal the statement was a total misrepresentation by an overzealous reporter who was not among the journalists present when Governor Soludo spoke extempore during his interaction with some audience after his 100 days in office media broadcast
The above statement could best be described as an attempt by some misguided elements to cause disaffection between the Labour Party Presidential candidate, His Excellency, Peter Obi and his party leadership
We therefore wish to caution those wishing to cause mischief by publishing false and misleading stories to desist from doing so
The public should please disregard the entire statement as it never emanated from Governor Soludo
