OPINION BY EHI BRAIMAH: Why is Soludo going after Obi? | TheCable
friends can become foes overnight and the media is always willing and happy to feast on the harvest of events as they unfold.
A lot of commentators have expressed this concern and it got so bad that the LP presidential flag bearer had to caution them recently to refrain from attacking those who hold different views. Some Obidients have already concluded that the LP presidential candidate will win the election next year without providing the evidence or pathway to the presidency. Anyway, it is part of the game; politicians and their supporters who follow them blindly don’t ever believe they can lose but everybody cannot win.
Although Soludo referred to Obi as his brother more than once, the Anambra state governor was unsparing in his attack of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, prompting some people to ask: what’s Soludo’s problem with Obi?Both Soludo and Obi are from Anambra state and you would expect mutual support for their respective political ambitions, but it does not always work like that.
So why is Soludo going after Peter Obi when he is also an Ndigbo like him or is it all politics? Soludo may have unwittingly created the impression that he is envious of Peter Obi by raising the red flag but “envy” is not the right word in this context. But why instigate an unhealthy rivalry? Soludo declared that Obi, in spite of his popularity, cannot win the presidential election because from the strategy standpoint, according to Soludo’s thesis, Obi is a “lone ranger” and “local champion”. For these reasons, Obi cannot go far in the electoral contest with the presidential candidates of APC and PDP.
