Obi’s investments in Anambra worth next to nothing – Soludo

The Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, on Thursday, said the investments being credited to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, were worth next to nothing.

Soludo, who spoke in an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today, also said he was not aware of any investments by his predecessors.

Obi was a two-term governor of Anambra State from 2006 to 2014.

Soludo, who was elected governor of the state after Obi’s successor, Willie Obiano, stated that he was invited for the interview to speak about his 2023 budget.

He was, however, asked about what had become of Obi’s investments in the state and if he was looking in that direction.

Responding, Soludo said, “…by the way the one (investment) that you’re talking about, I don’t know anything about that. I think there was something I read about somebody speculating about whatever investment. With what I’ve seen today, the value of those investments is worth next to nothing. So, let’s leave that aside.”
