How Soludo Deceived Obi Of Onitsha, Anambra Monarchs To Attend Atiku’s Welcome Meeting

 

 

According to sources within the Anambra State , the state’s governor, Chukwuma Soludo, may have deceived  the state’s traditional elders into attending a welcome event for Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

 

 

 

 

On December 15, 2022, the day of his election campaign in the state, Atiku Abubakar paid a visit to Anambra State.

The source claims that based on the memo they received, Governor Soludo misled the traditional leaders of Anambra State into thinking they were going to a meeting at the end of the year at the government house in Awka, the state capital.

The monarchs, however, were surprised to learn they were assembled because of the visit of the PDP presidential candidate.

 

They would later be honoured with a N300,000.00 parting gift for a ‘job well done’.

 

Soludo also deceived Alhaji Abubakar who was made to believe that all the people he met at the Government House were there to welcome him.

Speaking after the visit, Atiku had said: “I did not expect to see so much crown during my visit to Anambra State.

 

The truth was revealed when the state residents attacked one of the foremost paramount rulers in the state, the Obi of Onitsha, His Majesty Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Achebe, for abandoning his royal palace to go to receive Atiku.

One aggrieved resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told an online news platform, “Obi of Onitsha just disgraced Onitsha Kingdom and Igbo people.

 

“Will Oba of Benin leave his royal palace to go receive any politician?” he asked contemptuously.

 

Reacting to the allegation, the source blew the lid, explaining that the traditional rulers never knew that the meeting involved the visit of Atiku.

He added why any traditional ruler will take side with Atiku “when a son of the soil, the (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Gregory Onwubuasi Obi, is also contesting the election”.

 

It appears that all is not well with the Anambra PDP Campaign Council as Senator Stella Odua, representing Anambra North at the National Assembly, and another PDP chieftain in the state, Chief Chris Ubah, the senatorial candidate of Anambra South, boycotted the Thursday rally.

 

Atiku, since his emergence, has been fighting on several fronts with party members who considered his ticket as a violation of party principles.

 

Foremost amongst them are the G-5 Governors who vowed to ensure that he does not win the presidential election.

 

The G-5 Governors include Mr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike of Rivers State, Mr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, Dr. of Abia State, Mr. Samuel Ortom of Benue State, and Mr. Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.
