Charles Soludo, the governor of Anambra State, has denied reports that he solicited $28 million from any group or individual to threaten Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate.
After the Thanksgiving mass at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, where he met Obi, in honour of Most Rev. Paulinus C. Ezeokafor’s 70th birthday, Soludo answered questions from reporters in Awka, the capital of Anambra State.
The governor of Anambra said, “If I had gotten $28 million to threaten my brother Peter Obi, I should be very wealthy right now.
“For those fabricating blackmail and everything else, even the one they said I received a bribe to say what I said, I urged them to produce it so I can utilize it to build roads for the people of Anambra.
If Soludo were a big briber, I would be worth many trillions of dollars by now.
“Today is an extremely unique day.
It was Obi and I’s first time meeting in a public setting and the Catholic Church that the two of us attend when we entered the service.
I consider it to be wonderful.
Individuals stared in confusion as if it were a drama and questioned whether it wasn’t the same people arguing when I hurriedly walked to where he was sitting and hugged him, the man said.
Speaking about their alleged disagreement, Soludo said it was political, highlighting the fact that he had just spoken to Obi twice the previous evening and that politics had not infiltrated their bond as brothers.
“There is no personal divide between Obi and myself. Nobody stole the wives from one another. We seem to be at odds over basic political disagreements. not another.
“We will meet in the coming weeks to discuss our basic disagreements. We’ve agreed to talk and resolve our issues,” he insisted.
