SOLUDO CRIES OUT, "MY FAMILY IS BEING PUNISHED OVER A COMMENT I MADE ABOUT PETER OBI'S INVESTMENT"

Governor Charles Soludo

Recall that in an interview, the former governor of the Central Bank said that the investment made by Peter Obi, the Labour Party's presidential candidate, with money from Anambra State was "next to nothing."

Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has complained that his family is being bullied because of his remarks regarding Peter Obi's investment in the region.

He claimed that there were rumors that those who were incited by his comment carried out the recent assault on security personnel at Isuofia community in the state's Aguata Local Government Area.

He said, "Unfortunately, a number of the comments left the subject of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on "investment" that I am opposed to Peter Obi's ambition and, therefore, committed a "crime" for which the punishment is intramural abuse and harassment, even to my family.

"Some people even suggest that the gunmen who went to attack a checkpoint at my hometown on Saturday 12th November but were gunned down was part of the mob reaction.

"I used to think that for decent people, certain conducts are off-limits, and that in Anambra, politics is not warfare."
