Immediate past governor of Anambra State Willie Obiano has said he did not question the performance and style of governance of his successor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo.
The ex-governor, said in a statement by his Chief Publicist, Tony Nezianya, that he also did not raise any concern about campaign funding for his wife, Ebelechukwu who will next year contest the Anambra North Senatorial seat under the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
Obiano described those peddling rumours over his misgivings about Soludo and his wife’s campaign funds as mischief makers.
Obiano maintained that he had confidence that Soludo would live up to the high expectations of the people of the State, adding that he foresaw sterling performance in him.
The statement reads, “I have not at any fora expressed misgivings about him. I never said to anyone or a group that I am disappointed in him.

‘’I never raised any issues concerning campaign funding for my wife, who is seeking an Anambra North ticket.
‘’I never granted an interview over such a matter. The author of such a verse is on a mischievous venture with an aim at causing disharmony: he does not have my authorisation.
‘’I state unequivocally that whoever did that is a mischief maker. I never said anything like that. I did not at any point discuss my wife’s funding with you.”
Obiano added, ‘’That clearly shows the comment is false as the handiwork of a fake news vendor. I have confidence that Gov. Soludo will live up to the high expectations of Ndi Anambra.”
