Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Sam Amadi, says that Igbo voters are focused on NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi and not on Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo. Amadi makes the remark in a post on X, suggesting that people in the region have little interest in Soludo’s claims despite his experience.
The comments are reported in the context of a public dispute between Obi and Soludo over Anambra State’s debt situation when Obi left office. Obi had claimed the state was debt-free at the end of his tenure, while Soludo’s administration rejected that position. Anambra State officials maintain that Obi’s administration left behind outstanding obligations, including loans and arrears of salaries, pensions and gratuities.
The state government also responds by citing actions attributed to Soludo’s administration, including claims that it cleared inherited gratuity arrears. Across the outlets, the central points are Amadi’s remark and the ongoing political disagreement linking it to the debt and payments controversy between the two political figures.
