Peter Obi: Soludo’s words have come to pass, says Umahi

David Umahi, governor of Ebonyi state, says the words of his Anambra counterpart, Chukwuma Soludo, concerning Peter Obi’s presidential election has come to pass.

Soludo had, in an open letter, predicted that Obi would lose the 2023 presidential election.

Speaking on Monday, March 6, at the Ebonyi International Airport, Umahi said although the Labour Party candidate did well in the election, the southeast needs to align with other geopolitical zones to win the presidency.

Umahi said:

“Gov. Charles Soludo of Anambra harped on this fact and was crucified, but, his words have come to pass. The wise thing for the Igbos to do is to tell themselves the truth that we alone cannot make ourselves president.

“We have to work with other tribes as the south west did with the north and have succeeded. We have to stop being parochial and clannish… as who could have believed that Obi was talking with me up till the last minute. He was also talking with other governors even those from the north.”
