For, at least, the third time, Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Soludo, has doubted the ability of Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, LP, to win the 2023 Presidential election.

Soludo is of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, which has a Presidential Candidate, who has largely remained unknown, Rtd Justice Peter Umeadi, it is not a secret that he is working for the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, as was, recently, confirmed by Tinubu’s Spokesperson in   the South-east, Josef  Onoh.

Obi is from Anambra State and its former two-term Governor.

Soludo, who spoke on Thursday, in an interview with Channels Television, admitted, reluctantly, that Obi “may win” the Presidential election in Anambra State, waved aside   the LP candidate’s ability to win the Presidency overall.

Soludo: “I wish Peter Obi the best of luck. Let him go and compete as others.

“We (APGA) are also competing in the same race. We have our own candidate (Peter Umeadi), who is also son of the soil, coincidentally from Anambra State as well, and he will do his own bit, get his own votes.

“In the piece,(he wrote in November, 2022) I even considered that Peter Obi might win in Anambra State. I did mention that.” But just like his Channels Television interview, he also said Obi will not win to become Nigeria’s President.

Soludo also claimed that he had given Obi all the support a State Government can offer to a former governor like Obi. He said he has been fair to all parties campaigning in the state and has not denied them state facilities to use for rallies. But he was quick to add that Obi, as a Governor, denied the LP, which candidate he is now, a venue to hold its campaign.

In an earlier release, Soludo had struggled to defend his Government’s alleged pulling down of Obi’s Campaign posters and banners in the State. He said  they may not have paid for the advert. However, a group of youths in the State has asked Soludo to put back Obi’s Campaign posters, or have their members to account to.
