The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has said it never authorized any press release to the effect that Gov Charles Soludo of Anambra State had been dragged to two deities in Imo State over his recent statements against Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Soludo had stated that Obi’s investments as governor of Anambra were ‘next to nothing’. He later predicted that Obi ‘can’t win’ the presidential election in 2023.
Against this background, a faction of Ohanaeze, with one Isiguzoro as secretary general, announced yesterday that Soludo had been dragged to the two deities for arbitration.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, led by Amb George Obiozor, today, disclaimed such.
Its national publicity secretary, Dr Alex Ogbonnia, in a statement, described the reports of taking Soludo to deities as ‘bizarre and reckless’.
According to him, “The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide would have ignore the said press release, but silence in this circumstance will tend to give validity to such a fallacy by the unsuspecting public.
Ohanaeze therefore disclaimed the release, adding that the source of the release was fake.
