The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has dismissed the allegations that he had been contracted to eliminate the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi.
Soludo said, as the governor, he remains the father of Anambra by his position and will not plot or collude to harm any lawful citizen of the state including Obi.
The governor stated these through his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, who spoke to journalists in Awka, on Monday, while reacting to a viral message on social media which alleged that Soludo had been contracted to eliminate Obi for a fee.
There has been a report circulating online, titled, ‘Hold Soludo responsible if anything happens to Peter Obi’, saying that Soludo’s hatred for Peter Obi and everything he stands for is becoming glaring as things unfold.
The report read, “A Helicopter entered Awka by 1:30 am and took Soludo to a secret meeting at Government House, Owerri. The agenda of the meeting is Peter Obi and how to stop him physically, politically and otherwise.
“Soludo was given Five Million Dollars in 100 dollar bills for the hatchet job and Soludo promised to eliminate Peter Obi…,” it said.
But Aburime, while reacting, dismissed the report as infantile, nauseating, mischievous, unnecessarily inflammatory and a figment of the imagination of the authors.
He said, “None of the allegations is true. The governor has been in Anambra State engaging stakeholders for the Saturday election.
