REACTIONS have trailed the circulation of posters of the former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Professor Chukwuma Soludo as joint candidates for the 2023 presidential election, with Soludo’s media aides describing it as the handiwork of desperate politicians who are afraid of the rising popularity of Soludo ahead of the forthcoming Anambra governorship poll on November 6.
A statement by Mr. Joe Anatune of the Soludo Media Office said Soludo, who is a governorship aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, is not interested in contesting the 2023 presidential election.
According to Anatune, Soludo did not know about the posters and had not discussed politics with Atiku for several years, adding that even Atiku’s camp was surprised by the circulation of the posters.
He said: “This is the handiwork of known desperate politicians. Of course we know them.
Soludo is not interested in contesting the 2023 presidential election, as his focus is on securing the support of his party – APGA – for the November 6, 2021 Anambra governorship election and he is working hard at it already.
