Supporters of the Labour Party have reviled Anambra state governor Charles Soludo over his comment on the investment made by Peter Obi when he was governor of the state.
Soludo, who was a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, said Obi’s purported investment is worth nothing.
Obi is the presidential candidate of the Labour Party. Before clinching the party’s ticket, he governed Anambra from 2006 to 2014.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Soludo said he is not aware of any investment in the state by any of his predecessors.
“I think there was something I read about somebody speculating about whatever investment. With what I’ve seen today, the value of those investments is worth next to nothing. So, let’s leave that aside,” the governor said.
Soludo’s comment has sparked reactions on social media with supporters of the Labour party presidential candidate bashing him for the comment.

I am beyond disgusted with Soludo ignoring Obiano & blaming Obi for the failure of investments he handed over to Obiano. He showed a dark side of himself today that I think is driven by his own Presidential ambition. He wants to stop any Igbo man from getting it before himself.

“There is definitely an issue of character with Prof. Soludo and his desperate search for power and relevance in Nigeria. Nigerians should, therefore, beware of so-called intellectuals without character and wisdom because this combination is fatal."

On Soludo's statement, I will ask two fundamental questions. Why was it worth something when Peter Obi left office but worth nothing now?

Very obvious at this point that Soludo is not going for 2nd term.

Is Soludo the immediate successor to Obi ? Why should Obi take the blame for poor mismanagement of funds and lackadaisical investment management? https://t.co/NHi73PjQl8

This is the same Soludo that was crying that Obiano left less than N100m for him & still praising Obiano. He's here throwing shades at someone that left over N75bn for his predecessor without debts. Soludo is still pained by the flooring he got in 2010 and never liked Peter Obi. https://t.co/gWKL78tNXx

Soludo is working for PDP. You can take this to the bank! I’ve been told this a couple of months ago, by a friend of mine who is a member of PDP. So, I wasn’t expecting him to say anything good about Obi’s administration. It’s all politics. He’s protecting his interests, I guess.

Charles Soludo has exposed a fraud.
May Peter Obi never happen to Nigeria.
