The former governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has said that he has renewed faith in his successor, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo’s performance and style of governance.
Obiano was recently quoted as expressing regrets for backing Soludo’s emergence as his successor.
The reports also quoted Obiano as saying he discussed impeachment moves against Soludo with the deputy governor, Dr Onyekachukwu Ibezim, and the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mr Uche Okafor.
But a statement by his Chief Publicist, Mr Tony Nezianya insisted that Obiano never said anything like that.
The statement reads: “I have not at any fora expressed misgivings about him. I never said to anyone or a group that I am disappointed in him.
“I never raised any issues concerning campaign funding for my wife, who is seeking an Anambra North ticket.
“I never granted an interview over such a matter. The author of such a verse is on a mischievous venture with an aim at causing disharmony; he does not have my authorisation.
“I state unequivocally that whoever did that is a mischief maker.
“I never said anything like that. I did not at any point discuss my wife’s funding with you.
“That clearly shows the comment is false as the handiwork of a fake news vendor.
“I have confidence that Governor Soludo will live up to the high expectations of Ndi Anambra”.
