Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo has challenged former governor Peter Obi over what he has delivered for the Igbo people since entering politics.
Speaking at a campaign event in Ekwusigo Local Government Area, where he commissioned a road project, Soludo directly addressed Obi’s political record.
“Ask him, since he has been in politics, what has he brought for the Igbos? Look at the bad state and erosion in Ekwusigo for a long time. Since he started politics, what has he done about it?” Soludo said.
He accused Obi of relying on emotional appeals during election periods rather than delivering lasting progress. “Then, when it’s time for election, you come and start playing with our emotions and still want us to waste our votes on you and remain where we are. It won’t happen again. We have said NO, we have refused. 2027 will be different.”
Soludo stressed that the Igbo must adopt a more strategic approach. “We Igbos will get our own share this time around by voting right. And we will be part of the fight, the struggle so that we can take our share.”
Drawing a hunting analogy, he added: “When they say they are going for hunting and the meat is in the bush, you keep on insulting people, calling them names, calling them idiot. You went on your own hunting and didn’t catch even a cockroach, but when they go for theirs and catch an elephant, you start complaining they didn’t give you part of it.”
