Igbo youths, on the platform of Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL, have threatened to fill Anambra Government House with refuse over Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s uncomplimentary remarks against the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi.
COSEYL, which expressed disappointment in Soludo over the anti-Obi comments, gave the Governor up till Friday, November 25 to retract his words or brace up for the wrath of Igbo youths.
The apex Igbo socio-political organization in a statement by its President General, Goodluck Ibem, said that time had come for unpatriotic Igbo politicians to be cut to size.
“We have set Friday 25 November, 2022 as a day we will carry refuse, debris and dump them at the gate of Anambra State Government House to serve as deterrent to other Igbo political office holders who might want to insult the sensibility of the Igbo nation.
“Dumping of refuse in the house of anyone who committed sacrilege against his people is a traditional way of disciplining and teaching lessons to anyone found wanting.
“The Igbo nation is a big and blessed nation that should not be toiled with by one single individual.
“That Soludo is the governor of Anambra State today is not of his making, but is the making of God using Anambra people to vote him into office.”
‘Soludo Will Answer To Igbo Deities’ – Ohanaeze Tackles Anambra Governor
The apex socio-cultural organisation in Igbo land, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has described Governor Charles Soludo’s comment on a former Governor of the state and presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi as ridiculous, unreasonable, and premature.
The group further revealed, in a statement, that it had dragged Soludo to deities in Igbo land, for discrediting the legacies of Peter Obi.
Soludo, in his letter, titled ‘History Beckons and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1)’ said Obi knows he is not going to win next year’s presidential election and that the probability of him winning is next to zero.
The statement signed by its Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, reads: “Governor Soludo’s actions are ridiculous, unreasonable and premature; there was no locus for the Governor’s outburst and the sanctions against Soludo to face Igbo deities will serve as a deterrent to South-East politicians who have been hired by enemies of Ndigbo and Nigerians to derail the Obi’s presidency in 2023.
“Governor Soludo exposed and indicted himself of treachery when he discredited APGA and Labour Party’s presidential candidates as not viable alternatives to win the 2023 elections.
“How can a state governor of two presidential candidates (APGA and LP) make such a public declaration?
“He has confirmed that he is the number one enemy of the new Nigeria and was hired by an unpopular presidential candidate who is looking for Igbo politicians to pull down Obi’s popularity ahead of the 2023 elections.
“We advise Soludo to concentrate on the current crisis in Anambra State and APGA and stop casting innuendo and aspersions on the person of Mr. Peter Obi. The LP presidential candidate is not in the same political party with him and is not fighting the Anambra State Government.”
