Anambra State Governor, Prof Charles Soludo, has discredited a write-up alleging he charged members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to work against the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, in the 2023 elections.
Obi, a former governor of Anambra, is contesting for the seat of President and has been garnering support both from Nigerians at home and in the diaspora.
Soludo’s Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, in a statement on Wednesday debunked a write-up with the headline: “Soludo charges Anambra APGA to Work Against Peter Obi, dreams of Presidency after Atiku.”
The statement said that while it is true that Soludo recently held a meeting with APGA members, Obi was never a topic of discourse.
“We note with disdain the fallacious and distasteful publication of a write-up with the above heading by faceless individual(s),” the statement said.

“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 mis-informed by the write up.
“The following should, however, be noted: 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.”
