Charles Soludo, the governor of Anambra State, has refuted claims that he gave the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) instructions to oppose Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, in the general elections of 2023.
The governor’s press secretary, Christian Aburime, refuted the claim in a statement, calling it the work of anonymous individuals. The former Anambra State governor, according to him, was not discussed during the meeting with APGA members.
“The following should, however, be noted: Governor Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, only held a private meeting with his party members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). This meeting is a routine gathering where issues concerning APGA are discussed,” the statement read.
“At no time during the meeting was Mr Peter Obi, a point of discourse. It is pertinent to note that issues discussed at the meeting were purely issues relating to APGA affairs.”

Re: Soludo charges Anambra APGA to Work Against Peter Obi, dreams of Presidency after Atiku
We note with disdain the fallacious and distasteful publication of a write-up with the above heading by a faceless individual(s).
We would have chosen to ignore this mischievous and utterly despicable publication, but for the benefit of a few innocent Ndi Anambra who could be misinformed by the write-up.

The following should, however, be noted:
1) That Governor Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, only held a private meeting with his party members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). This meeting is a routine gathering where issues concerning APGA are discussed.
- At no time during the meeting was Mr Peter Obi, a point of discourse.
- It is pertinent to note that issues discussed at the meeting were purely issues relating to APGA affairs
- We, therefore, urge Ndi-Anambra and members of the general public to completely ignore and disregard the publication in all its entirety
