The All Progressives Brilliant Alliance has instructed one of the most frontline aspirants of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Obiora Okonkwo, to reduce his ambition of unseating Anambra Order Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo.
Okonkwo, right through the foundation of the fresh APC secretariat in Awka, utmost year Saturday and at other fora, had boasted of unseating Soludo, if given the APC price tag, insisting that handiest he transformational action to lead Anambra within the later dispensation.
Reacting to Okonkwo’s feedback in a press commentary issued on Saturday (These days), the Nationwide Coordinator of APGA Media Warriors Discussion board, Chinedu Obigwe, stated that even supposing Okonkwo will get the APC price tag, he’s going to be roundly defeated via Soludo within the November 8 governorship election.
The commentary in part reads, “What we found out about Okonkwo is that he likes rubbing shoulders with Soludo even if it’s sunny to Nigerians at immense that he can not compete with Soludo. He’s handiest forcing himself to be at the identical degree as Soludo, however he isn’t and will by no means be. As we stated in one in all my fresh write-ups, Okonkwo will probably be defeated once more via Soludo within the drawing close November 8 governorship election.
“He’s going to now not get the APC price tag, and even supposing he defects to any unknown birthday party to game the election, he’s going to obtain the similar remedy that Anambra electorates gave him within the utmost 2021 governorship election. The cause of pronouncing this with a bit of luck is as a result of Obiora Okonkwo isn’t a political candidate who makes calculated political strikes, therefore the explanation he has now not been ready to win any election in Anambra since he began contesting for election within the Order.
“As for him challenging Governor Soludo to a public debate, I will advise him to first scale the difficult hurdle of clinching an APC ticket as their candidate for the 2025 governorship election or as usual defect to an unknown party to clinch their ticket for the purpose of contesting the 2025 governorship election so that he will be qualified for a public debate with Governor Soludo.”
The APGA chieftain insisted that as of nowadays, Okonkwo does now not deserve Soludo’s consideration for debate, including that the governor is extra centered at the supply of dividends of fine governance to the Anambra society.
“In all honesty, any one pronouncing that Soludo isn’t operating in Anambra dangers being stoned via Anambra society as a result of because it stands nowadays, what the governor is doing within the Order is being recommended via society of the Order.
“The likes of Obiora Okonkwo and his opposition politicians cohorts which are pronouncing that the governor isn’t operating are portraying themselves as pathological liars earlier than the overall folk.
“Even the lack of confidence defect that they have been politicising and the usage of to threat the governor is being tackled. The foundation of ‘Operation Udo Ga-achi’ has yielded productive effects and has solved the Anambra lack of confidence defect.
“Soludo has truly justified the confidence reposed in him by Anambra electorates and re-electing him for a second term in office will serve as a reward for the good work he is doing in our State,” the commentary added.
