Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has denied reports
that he held a meeting with the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressive
Congress (APC), at the Imo State Government House, Owerri, on how to stop the
Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi from pursuing the
process to reclaim his mandate through a court process.
Tinubu was declared the winner of the Feb. 25 Presidential
election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The former Lagos State governor polled 8,794,726 votes to
beat Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who got 6.96 million
votes and Obi, who garnered 6.1 million votes, according to INEC announcement
last Wednesday.
Reports had emerged that a helicopter allegedly flew into
Awka by 1:30am on Sunday and took Soludo to a secret meeting at Government
House, Owerri.
Details of the said meeting were unknown but it was gathered
that Tinubu was said to be expressing concern about the growing popularity of
Obi and solicited the help of Soludo to find a solution.
However, in his reaction, Soludo, through his Press
Secretary, Christian Aburime, said the allegations were false and disgusting.
Aburime, in a statement made available to journalists in
Awka, on Monday, said, “The general public is advised to disregard the
allegations. Ndi Anambra should also disregard all the insinuations and come
out to vote massively for APGA this Saturday for the State House of Assembly
election in order to sustain the developmental strides of the present
administration of Governor Soludo.
“If certain people could sit somewhere and cook up a story
of this nature, it becomes highly reprehensible and certainly deserves to be
condemned by every right-thinking person.”
