An aspirant for the Anambra state governorship election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof Obiora Okonkwo has said Chukwuma Soludo did not work for President Bola Tinubu’s victory at the 2023 general election.

Okonkwo who is the Chairman of United Nigeria Airlines stated this when he returned his completed expression of interest and nomination forms to contest for the party’s April 5 primary election at the APC national secretariat Abuja on Tuesday.

He said, allowing the incumbent governor who is a member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to win with the support of APC from Abuja, “means plucking your eyes and giving it to him to see based on the promise that he will deliver 25 per cent for Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.”

“This is the time for Anambra people to pay him back. Soludo claimed that he worked for President Tinubu during the presidential election but he did not.

He only worked for himself. We have it on good authority that the letter written by the presidential campaign of the APC to him for a courtesy visit on him by Mr President but for 10 times, the Chief protocol of the governor did not intentionally meet them to receive the letter. And for that reason, he could not meet the President for a handshake when he came for the campaign.

“Allowing to him to win with the support of APC from Abuja, means plucking your eyes and giving it to him to see based on the promise that he will deliver 25 per cent for Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. Why should you go for 25 per cent when an APC sitting governor can make him win landslide?

“We will never fall into that APGA gimmick anymore. Our president is a true party man and know that he cannot sabotage the party. We have heard that story but our message to him is that we are not buying into that APGA gimmick. There is no such arrangements. We know that APGA was led by Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu-Ojukwu, but today, there is no APGA but Solutions,” Okonkwo said.

Speaking on his chances, he said:”I want to tell you that after praying seeking God’s face, we have successfully submitted the completed forms. We have no doubt that we have entered other phase of the race and that we will be declared the winner after the primaries by God’s grace.

“Yes, power belongs to God and having submitted the the forms, I totally submit to the will of God. What I am assuming is that an earthquake will erupt in Anambra to remove the rudderless incumbent governor. We will win Anambra for the APC. We will bring the state and the South East into the APC fold.

“I am the only aspirant coming from Anambra Central, the zone where AC and ACN held sway before the party transmuted into APC. Returning to APC is a home coming for me and I am happy to be home. God made it possible for AC and ACN to win elections in Anambra Central before, using me and other men of goodwill to actualise them.”
