In a statement released on Friday, Obigwe denounced Isicheli’s comments as a “blackmail piece” aimed at Governor Soludo.
He characterized Isicheli as a “hungry charge and bail lawyer” seeking to gain from his association with a political opponent.
Obigwe’s statement was a direct response to Isicheli’s earlier comments, which he deemed a malicious attack on Governor Soludo’s character.
He accused Isicheli of being a “moronic supporter” , who is trying to discredit Soludo’s achievements.
Obigwe expressed confidence that the people of Anambra State would reject Isicheli and paymaster’s alleged attempts to undermine Governor Soludo’s progress.
He warned that they would “Anambra people will teach them a bitter lesson” in the 2025 elections.
Obigwe’s statement reflects the ongoing tensions between APGA and a certain oil mogul’s faction in Anambra State.

The statement has sparked reactions from political analysts, who see it as a sign of the intense political climate in Anambra State.
