He knows the game he is playing, and we know too; and he knows that we know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe game he is playing is the main reason he didn\u2019t return to APGA. The brutal truth (and some will say, God forbid) is that there are two persons\/parties seriously contesting for president: the rest is exciting drama!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat many Americans may not like the fact that Joe Biden (79 years) and Donald Trump (76 years) are two frontrunners for president in their parties does not remove the fact that if both of them emerge as candidates, definitely one of them will be president in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs my brother, I wish him well and even pray for him. I told him during his courtesy call that my prayer is that himself or Prof Umeadi of APGA would win, why not?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is from my heart, but I also told him that my head and facts on the ground led me to know that it\u2019s probability is next to zero (what I cannot say before you, I won\u2019t say behind you).\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Stating that Obi might not come third in the race, Soludo contended that the LP lacked the structure to win the presidential election in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cSo, I already told him my opinion. As my brother, I wish him well and even pray for him. Indeed, there is no credible pathway for him near the first two positions, and if care is not taken, he won\u2019t even near the third position.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019Analysts tell him you don\u2019t need \u201cstructure\u201d to win. Fantasy! Of course, LP won governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun on social media and via phantom polls, while getting barely 2,000 votes on ground.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The governor conceded that the LP candidate would get some votes in his home state of Anambra, but noted that this would not take him anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, Peter Obi will get some votes, and may probably win in Anambra State\u2014 as \u201chome boy\u201d. But Anambra is not Nigeria. If he likes, I can even campaign for him but that won\u2019t change much. From internal state-by-state polling available to me, he was on course to get 25 per cent in five states as of August this year. The latest polling shows that it is down to four states, and declining,\u2019\u2019 he submitted.<\/p>\n<p>Dismissing claims that he was envious of his predecessor, Soludo said he and Obi had been friends for a long time, adding that he vowed never to leave APGA for another party.<\/p>\n<p>The governor added, \u2018\u2019The same Peter Obi was one of those who told Ndigbo that APGA was the vehicle through which Igbos would organise to engage the rest of Nigeria politically. He was said to have sworn to Ojukwu and publicly that he would quit politics the day he leaves APGA. The rest is history. When he was the vice-presidential candidate under PDP in 2019, the emotive train then dubbed the ticket \u201cthe Igbo project\u201d. As then chairman of planning and strategy committee of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, I cautioned for a more pragmatic approach but the emotive blaze of the time held sway. We were vindicated afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to the PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined. After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the great Zik of Africa who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The governor noted the failure of the LP to field candidates for the two chambers of the National Assembly in Lagos, adding sarcastically that he would have given Obi money if he were the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, for making his victory easier.<\/p>\n<p>He stated, \u2018\u2019Not even in Lagos State (supposed headquarters of urban youths) where the Labour Party could not find candidates to contest for House of Reps or Senate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe polls also show that he is taking votes away mostly from the PDP. Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign because Obi is making Tinubu\u2019s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, has said the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, knows he cannot win the 2023 presidential election because he does not have the necessary structure in place.
