Anambra State governor, Chukwuma Charles Soludo has denied media reports quoting him as saying the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi will labour in vain.
The governor, through his Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, said the statement was a total misrepresentation by an overzealous reporter who was not among the journalists present when Governor Soludo spoke extempore during his interaction with some audience after his 100 days in office media broadcast
“The above statement could best be described as an attempt by some misguided elements to cause disaffection between the Labour Party presidential candidate, His Excellency, Peter Obi and the party leadership.
“We, therefore, wish to caution those wishing to cause mischief by publishing false and misleading stories to desist from doing so.
“The public should please disregard the entire statement as it never emanated from Governor Soludo”, Mr Aburime emphasized.
