Soludo Debunks $100 Million Claim About Peter Obi’s Investment In Anambra

Anambra governor Chukwuma Soludo has denied saying that a $20 million investment former governor Peter Obi made on behalf of the state is now worth $100 million.

Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, has become the darling of many Nigerian youth who hold nothing back when campaigning for him online and off of it.

The investment to which Soludo referred was allegedly made in SABMiller Group.

A Facebook user had credited a statement to Soludo alleging that the $20 million which Obi invested on behalf of the state in the company is now worth $100 million.

“Mr Peter Obi’s $20 million investment in Anambra worth $100 million today – Charles Chukwuma Soludo,” the Facebook user had said.

Using his verified Facebook page to react to the post in the poster’s comment section, Soludo said, “Where did you read or hear me make such false statement? This fake news has been roundly debunked by my team.

“We can carry on with campaigning for our preferred candidates without consciously misleading the reading public. The report is fake and never emanated from me. Thank you.”
