The Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra State, Ifeatu Obi-Okoye, has expressed confidence that Governor Charles Soludo will be difficult to defeat in the 2025 elections.
Obi-Okoye dismissed concerns about the Obidient movement, stating that it will eventually fade away.
He made these remarks during a conversation with journalists at his office in Awka, the capital of Anambra State.
The chairman further asserted that APGA has successfully defeated candidates supported by Obi in the past and is likely to do so again in 2025.
He said, “By Labour candidate you mean Valentine Ozigbo, is it not? Unfortunately, that name has become synonymous with losing elections. If he contests, he will be contesting against his homeboy from Aguata (Soludo).
“So, I can say the ObIdient man (Obi), APGA has beaten him twice. We beat him when he brought a man from Ogbaru, Oseloka Obaze, and we beat him again when he brought Val Ozigbo.
“What happened in the last Obidient Movement is a lesson to Igbo and should not repeat itself. It was like what happened in 1967 when we went to war with Nigeria without preparation. It is not likely to happen to Ndigbo again.
“There will be no Obidient movement in the Anambra governorship election because that movement was tied around an emotion to become president of Nigeria. It had nothing to do with Peter Obi as a person.”
