Nigerians still waiting for your “History Beckons” Part 2 – LP mocks Soludo

By Praise Chinecherem

The Labour Party (LP) in Anambra State has warned Governor Chukwuma Soludo over unwarranted attacks on its members, particularly Senator representing Anambra North District, Dr Tony Nwoye.

State Chairman, Emeh Ugochukwu who gave the warning in Awka in a press conference on Wednesday, recalled how Soludo worked tirelessly to frustrate the “Nigerian Project”, including the letter he wrote against the party’s Presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi tagged, “History Beckons”.

Emeh alleged that Soludo seemed not to be tired of his media outburst on its members, reminding him that Nigerians were still waiting for the Part 2 of the letter as promised.

He said, “We do not need a soothsayer to tell Prof. Soludo that he has failed Ndi Anambra. We are not surprised at Prof. Soludo and His Media hirelings utterances against Mr Peter Obi, Labour Party in Anambra and Now Dr Tony Nwoye.

“Prior to 2023 General Elections, Gentlemen of the Press, We all saw the Letter Prof. Soludo wrote just to spite Our Candidate, Mr Peter Obi.

“He didn’t stop there, he worked tirelessly to frustrate the Nigerian Project because he believed if it is not him, it should not be anyone else. Prof. Soludo, Nigerians are still waiting for the Part 2 of the Letter as you said.”

Describing Soludo-led administration as insensitive to the plight of the people of the State, the LP boss said the masses have been subjected to abject poverty under the present government.

He further accused the government of diverting palliatives sent to the State to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal and poor quality of Service delivery.

He advised the ruling APGA government to focus on feeding the State with the expectations of the people rather than unwarranted media derangement from its peckish media boys against the Party and its members.

Making particular reference to recent attack on Senator Tony Nwoye, Emeh noted that Nwoye’s action was a reminder to Soludo that his betrayal and sabotage was still fresh in the minds of the people.

His words, “We want to let Nigerians and Ndi Anambra know that we are proud of Our State Representatives at the National Assembly. They have distinguished themselves as true Ambassadors of A New Nigeria Project.

“Senator Dr Tony Nwoye was elected to the National Assembly by the great and good people of Anambra North senatorial District because of his unique style of leadership. He is one of the Leaders in our Party we are proud of. He has been vocal on State and National issues.

“The recent Statement he made at a reception held in his Honour and other members of our Great Party has brought fear upon Governor Soludo and Ndi APGA. In case, Prof. Soludo thinks we have forgotten, Ndi Anambra has not forgotten and what Senator Nwoye did was to remind Prof. Soludo, your betrayal and sabotage is still fresh in the minds of the people.

“This Reminder has brought an unwarranted media derangement from the peckish APGA media boys to write against Labour Party and the Most Distinguished Senator Dr Tony Nwoye who was divinely and brotherly elected to salvage poor representation for Anambra North at the National Assembly.

“The APGA government should focus on feeding Anambra State with the expectations of the people.

“As at today, Ndi Anambra has rejected APGA, Quality representation is all Anambra citizens clamour for, which Ndi Anambra Has not seen in the Government of Prof. Soludo.

“The Government has been insensitive to the plight of our People; it has subjected Ndi Anambra To extreme Poverty to the point of diverting Palliatives sent to Anambra State to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal and poor quality of Service delivery.

“We are proud of What Senator Victor Umeh and Senator Dr Tony Nwoye are doing in the Senate.

“Within The First six months the sue have been in the senate, it has been all about service delivery.
