Onoh faults Soludo’s attack on Obi, urges Tinubu to reshuffle cabinet

President Bola Tinubu’s former campaign spokesman in the South East, Dr. Josef Onoh has bashed the Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, for making inaccurate political statements aimed at attacking Mr. Peter of the Labour Party, during President Tinubu’s visit to Anambra state, last week.Soludo had during the visit said that the last time a Nigerian President visited Anambra state was in 2012, adding that the visit was solely to commission a brewery.

But Onoh repudiated Soludo, informing him that he was wrong in the two fronts since the then President Goodluck Jonathan commissioned several projects in his 2012 visit to state while former President Mohammadu Buhari also visited and commissioned projects in the state while Soludo’s predecessor, Willie Obiano was Governor.

Onoh said that one of the major problems that the Tinubu administration has is the over flooded attacks on Mr. Obi by both Presidential aides and those wanting to curry the President’s favour, resulting in increased image laundering for the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party. He therefore asked President Tinubu to reshuffle his cabinet to weed out less strategic communication aides who specialize in attacks of perceived political opponents rather than promotion of President Tinubu’s administration feats.

Situating history in its right perspective, Onoh recalled that former President Jonathan commissioned several projects in Anambra State during his presidency which notable among them include the groundbreaking ceremony for the Second Niger Bridge on March 10, 2014. He went further to name other projects performed by Jonathan in his 2012 visit such as the Orient Petroleum Oil, SabMiller Brewery, Orange Drugs Company, Krisoral Company, Onitsha Inland Port and the eight lanes of the Onitsha Head Bridge Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.

“Contrary to the statement credited to his Excellency Governor Chukwuma Soludo, may I remind him that former President Muhammadu Buhari physically commissioned projects in Anambra State during his tenure such as the Zik Mausoleum in Onitsha (January 2019), the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH) Permanent site in Nnewi on May 19, 2023, along with some SDG projects at the institution; the groundbreaking ceremony for the Igwe Orizu International ICT Centre, the Federal Secretariat in Awka and the Second Niger Bridge.
