A chieftain of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Evangelist Chinedu Obigwe, has dismissed as false a report alleging that Governor Chukwuma Soludo sent the National Chairman of APGA, Barrister Sly Ezeokenwa, to beg the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje.
He described the claim as politically motivated and baseless, adding that it was aimed at misleading the public ahead of the upcoming Anambra governorship election.
Obigwe, who issued the statement in Awka on Saturday, described the report as “a desperate propaganda stunt” allegedly sponsored by opposition elements.
“What I will say about the above-referred news report is that election season is a time when desperate opposition candidates use their propagandists to spread false information. The story in question is one of those cooked-up lies,” he stated.
The APGA media coordinator maintained that Governor Soludo remains focused on delivering good governance and would not engage in underhanded political manoeuvres.
“Governor Soludo that I know—and that Nigerians also know well—is a man of integrity and confidence. There are things he simply cannot do. Anyone claiming he sent the APGA National Chairman to beg Ganduje is merely trying to mislead the public,” Obigwe said.
Obigwe also addressed the recent leadership changes in the APC, stating that the party’s internal affairs have no bearing on APGA’s strategy for the November election.
He urged the public to ignore the report, describing it as a distraction from “a drowning political camp.”
Reaffirming his support for Governor Soludo’s administration, Obigwe expressed optimism about the governor’s re-election prospects.
“Anambra is in the right hands. The people are determined to re-elect Governor Soludo and his deputy, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim, for a well-deserved second term to enable them to complete the good work they have started,” he maintained.
