“My wife and I are godparents to Soludo’s children, we are close” – Peter Obi

Former Nigerian presidential candidate Peter Obi, of the NDC, has clarified that he is not at odds with Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo. Despite claims by the Soludo administration regarding debts left behind, Obi insists that he and his wife are godparents to the governor's children, emphasizing their close relationship. During an interview with the Nigerian Guild of Editors, Obi denied any quarrel with Soludo, stating, "I and my wife are godparents to Soludo’s children.

We are that close. So we are not quarrelling and we will never quarrel." He also asserted that he saved approximately $150 million during his tenure as governor, a claim he emphasized did not leave any debt for Anambra State. Obi further pointed out that no other governor in Nigeria has left funds in dollars, adding, "If you see one, tell me."
