He wants to stop any Igbo man from getting the presidency before himself - Gbadmosi berates Soludo for insulting Peter Obi

Politician, Babatunde Gbadmosi has called out the Anambra state governor, Charles Soludo, over his comment which ridicules Peter Obi's investments for Anambra state.

In an interview with Channels Television, on Thursday, November 10, Soludo claimed the investments the presidential candidate of the Labour Party did for his state when he was a governor are now worth next to nothing.

According to report, Peter Obi who was the governor of the SouthEastern state from 2006 to 2014, had said in an interview in 2018 that he invested $20 million in International Breweries on behalf of Anambra state while in office.

He said, “Anambra state is the single-highest shareholder in that facility. I invested in it, over $20 million. It is worth almost $100 [million] today. That’s what government should do.”he said during that inteview

However, Soludo in his interview said he is not aware of any investment in the state by any of his predecessors.

When asked what he thinks about the government making investments outside public infrastructure with particular reference to the investment made by Peter Obi, Soludo said

“I don't know about that. I think there was something I read about somebody speculating about the value of whatever investment. With what I’ve seen today, the value of those investments is worth next to nothing. So, let’s leave that aside.

Reacting to Soludo's statement via his Twitter handle, Gbadamosi wrote;

''I am beyond disgusted with Soludo ignoring Obiano & blaming Obi for the failure of investments he handed over to Obiano. He showed a dark side of himself today that I think is driven by his own Presidential ambition. He wants to stop any Igbo man from getting it before himself.''
