Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has mocked his predecessor and former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, following the governorship election held last Saturday in the state.

MyNigeria reported that Soludo won all 21 local government areas of the state to gain re-election as governor of Anambra State.

George Moghalu of the Labour Party, supported by Obi, garnered only 10,000 votes out of the over 450,000 votes cast.

Shortly after the election, Obi, who lost his polling unit as well as Moghalu, slammed Soludo, saying he was the governor of the state 13 years ago. According to him, he's currently playing in the Champions League while Soludo is still playing local leagues.

"I was governor 13 years ago, I am strictly in the Champions League of Nigerian politics and contesting to be president of Nigeria. To Soludo and others playing in the 1st Division - I wish them well," he said.

In response, Soludo revealed that Obi was pained by his party's loss in the election, despite acting as if "all the candidates in the election are his friends"; hence, whoever emerges will be a win for him.

Soludo said, "He is bitter, just like a serial loser that he is. You can see bitterness all over him. He was putting his posters everywhere as if he is a candidate in this election. I saw him begging his community people not to let him down. And because of that we in APGA left his polling unit for him and concentrated on the four wards in his community, we won all the four wards in his own community. Unfortunately for him, the polling unit we left for him, he still couldn't win it, APC defeated him in his own polling unit.

“PitObi is an injured player, stranded, confused and with no club… he is frustrated that somebody is doing what he couldn’t think about. In the fullness of time, we’ll expose how he destroyed public education in Anambra State.”
