The National Coordinator of All Progressives Grand Alliance
(APGA)Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe, has said nobody can stop him from defending the principles and philosophies of the Anambra State governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo.
Obigwe stated this in a statement circulated to journalists on Friday.
His reaction followed a comment attributed to the Senator representing Anambra North Senatorial District, Dr Tony Nwoye.
Nwoye had in a viral video reported to be in a meeting with Soludo in Abuja warned that if Obigwe continued to attack the presidential candidate of the Labour Party(LP) in the 2023 general elections, he would mobilised forces against Obigwe’s interests during elections in the state.
Reacting, Obigwe said,”My orientation and belief in life is that he or she that fetches ant-infested firewood gave invitation to the lizards.”
Continuing Obigwe said,”It’s funny and laughable for Sen. Tony Nwoye to turn a blind eye to what bunch of blackmailers and propagandists are doing against Governor Soludo to be complaining about me.
“He claimed in Abuja Town Hall meeting hosted by our beloved Governor Soludo that I’m insulting Peter Obi and that Governor Soludo should tell me to stop insulting Peter Obi.
“Sen Tony Nwoye in my opinion played to the gallery because everybody that knows me very well will confess that whenever I write against someone, my decision to do that must have been prompted by what the person or the person aides did.
He said his write ups against anybody were reactions to some of what some of their loyalists did against Soludo, adding “I always tell people that attack begets attack and insult begets insult.
He said it would be difficult for him to keep quiet while some propagandists would be painting Soludo black in print and social media without justification, “hence my reason for always giving them back to them fire for fire.”
Stating that his actions were not teleguided, Obigwe said Soludo didn’t instruct him to write against anybody so anybody telling the governor to stop him would tantamount to chasing of shadow, stressing that, “In politics, tantrum begets tantrum and not the other way round. “
