The presidential campaign council of Peter Obi of the Labour Party has replied Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, saying it would not be distracted by the governor’s critique.
In the response titled, The People are our priority, the Peter Obi Campaign organisation, said it read with amusement the long article of Soludo but concluded that it had “a bigger fish to fry.”
The released was signed by Ndi Kato, spokesperson, Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Organisation.
It read, “We read with amusement and dismay, a very lengthy and belaboured treatise of an article, written by Charles Soludo, Governor of Anambra State, focused on our Presidential Candidate, His Excellency Peter Obi.
“It seems obvious that Soludo is itching for limelight, in this election season, perhaps fired up by possible understanding or alliance with our struggling political opponents.
“While we note the glaring fallacies, misrepresentations, personal insinuations and signs of personal vendetta in that long writeup, neither His Excellency Peter Obi, The Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Organisation, nor the Labour Party, for that matter, has any interest in an extended engagement with Prof Soludo this critical time when there is a bigger fish to fry.
“His Excellency Peter Obi has his work well cut-out for him this campaign season. Primarily, he is accelerating his reach-out and influence to all Nigerians, rural and urban, in all areas, regions and states; and firmly engaging them, on his critical and visionary plans to take the country from consumption to production.
