Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has mocked former
Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, following the outcome of the
by-election in the state.
Soludo said the results of Saturday’s by-elections in the
state showed that the Labour Party and the African Democratic Congress, ADC,
are “dead” and “non-existent” in Anambra.
He made the remarks on Sunday during an event in the Nanka
area of the state to celebrate the victory of the All Progressives Grand
Alliance, APGA, in the by-elections.
Soludo also mocked Obi, who supported ADC candidates in the
polls, insisting the party does not exist in Anambra.
“ADC does not exist in Anambra. We showed it yesterday,
Saturday. Labour Party is dead,” Soludo said.
According to him, the ADC opposition coalition had sought to
use the by-election in Anambra to test its popularity, but “the people spoke
overwhelmingly with over 75%.”
He added: “APGA is our movement.”
Obi, a member of the Labour Party, had aligned with the ADC
coalition seeking to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
