SOLUDO VS PETER OBI: Igbo Youths Threatens To Dump Refuse At Govt House
The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL), has threatened to dump refuse at the Anambra State government house on Friday, November 25 over Governor Chukwuma Soludo‘s comment against Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate.
The youths described Soludo’s outburst as an “insult to the sensibility of Anambra State and the entire Igbo nation”. They called on the Anambra state house of assembly to immediately impeach governor Soludo, adding that allowing him to complete his first tenure would be an insult to the people of Anambra.
A press statement signed by COSEYL President General, Mr Goodluck Ibem, read in parts;
“Our members have met over the unfortunate and unguided statement by Soludo over Mr Peter Obi and have decided to bring him back to his senses by declaring Friday, 25 November 2022 as a day where all Anambrarians will carry their refuse, debris and dump them at the gate of Anambra State Government House. This will serve as deterrent to other Igbo political office holders who might want to insult the sensibility of the Igbo nation.”
“Dumping of refuse in the house of anyone who commits sacrilege against his people is a traditional way of disciplining and teaching the person some lessons.
We want the entire world to know that Soludo’s unguarded statement against Obi is his opinion, and not the opinion of his family.
“His own biological son said Peter Obi is the best Presidential candidate which is contrary and directly opposite to his father’s statement.
“Governor Soludo is standing alone on his attack against Peter Obi and anyone who might have paid him for such a hatchet job should go and collect his money back from him because his statement does not hold any water whosoever.”
“It is very unfortunate that Anambraians elected a misfit with the title of a Professor as governor and the error has to be corrected immediately. Without mincing words, Soludo insulted the sensibility of Anambra State and the entire Igbo nation by his misguided statement against Mr Peter Obi. Soludo just confirmed to the world that he lacks common sense.
“Four years is too long to wait for a man who has no vision to lead the good people of Anambra State that have enough intelligent people both home and abroad. It will be an Insult to Ndi Anambra to wait for four years for Soludo to complete his tenure which was given to him by the people.”
