The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the
forthcoming Anambra elections, Andy Uba has said he made Professor Charles
Soludo, the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Governor of
the Central Bank of Nigeria during the tenure of former President, Olusegun
Obasanjo
Andy Uba, a sitting Senator and a former confidant of
Obasanjo, made the claims during the Anambra election debate organised by Arise
TV and Enough is Enough on Monday.
During the debate, Andy Uba slammed Soludo, accusing him of
being ungrateful after he allegedly recommended him to Obasanjo for an
appointment for the post of CBN Governor.
He said that despite Obasanjo referencing him as the reason
for Soludo’s appointment when some traditional rulers came to the Villa on a
thank-you visit, Soludo never showed the needed appreciation
He was quoted as saying, “When he (Soludo) became the CBN
Governor, he came to my house to say thank you.
“Also, when five Igwes [traditional rulers] came to thank
the President after the appointment, he [Obasanjo] told them to go thank me
instead.”
But Soludo maintained that he never knew Andy Uba until
former Minister of Education, Dr Oby Ezekwesili introduced them at the
Presidential villa.
Anambra gubernatorial election holds on November 6th 2021,
with the frontline candidates being Andy Uba for the APC, Professor Charles
Soludo for APGA and Valentine Ozigbo for the PDP.
All I see in this guy is arrogance and inflammable statements. I see another Emperor rising if he becomes Governor.
