The Anambra State Government has called on voters to reject Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi in the 2027 general election, accusing him of attempting to destroy the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
In a graphic published on Monday on its official X account, managed by Governor Charles Soludo’s New Media office, the state government branded the former governor a traitor.
“A betrayal alert for Ndi APGA. Since 2014, Obi has had one mission: to destroy the party that made him,” the post read, contrasting Obi’s actions with those of President Bola Tinubu, who it claimed stood by the party. Urging residents to resist the NDC, the notice stated, “In 2015, while President Tinubu stood with APGA, Obi backed the opposition to bury us. Do not be deceived by a man who abandoned his own house. Anambra is APGA. Ndi APGA, defend your home, resist the NDC.’’
The warning coincides with explicit political alignments made by Governor Soludo and APGA leadership. In July, APGA National Publicity Secretary Ejimofor Opara confirmed that the party’s National Executive Committee had resolved to endorse Tinubu’s re-election bid following extensive consultations. Opara noted that the absence of an APGA presidential candidate on the Independent National Electoral Commission portal reflected this strategic endorsement rather than a breach of electoral guidelines.
The political friction follows a recent dispute between Obi and Soludo over financial commitments dating back to Obi’s tenure as governor. Neither Obi nor his official communications team has responded to the state government’s latest betrayal allegations.
