Senators have accused Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo of being driven by envy and hatred towards presidential candidate Peter Obi. Umeh claimed that Soludo was attempting to outshine Obi's political record, asserting that Obi remained more popular than his successor in the state and nation. The senator, who graduated alongside Soludo and Obi from the University of Nigeria in 1984, suggested that their shared educational background could have fueled what he called "peer envy."
Umeh stated that "He (Peter Obi) cannot be drawn to what is called the peer envy and hate." Despite Soludo's position as governor, Obi's popularity has remained higher in both Nigeria and Anambra State.
