\n
An Anambra-born-business billionaire, Prince Arthur Eze, has disassociated himself from Peter Obi\u2019s 2023 presidential ambition.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nEze made his position known recently, at the occasion of the 2022 Ofala festival of HRH Igwe (Dr.) Robert Eze, the traditional ruler of Ukpo in Dunukofia local government area of Anambra State.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI warned Peter Obi to withdraw from this race but he would not listen. I told him plainly that I am not part of his plans. I told him to drop his ambition, and wait for next time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he told me about his ambition, I asked him the states he thinks he can win in the west and in the north \u2013 he told me; but I was not convinced. I told him he cannot win; so that he would not waste his time and money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pointing at Governor Soludo, Eze, continued: \u201cThis is the person we are tipping to take over as Nigerian president of Igbo extraction in the time to come. We have a presidential candidate that we are supporting now. After his tenure, he will hand over to Soludo as president.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a women\u2019s group, Umuada Igbonine Home and Abroad, whose members were present at the occasion, expressed shock at Prince Eze\u2019s comment, describing it as one made under an influence.<\/p>\n

The group, which spoke to newsmen through one of its leaders, Dr (Mrs) Ndidiamaka Ojukwu, told our reporter that she was surprised that Eze would make such a remark concerning Obi.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrince Arthur Eze that I used to know does not speak carelessly. Though, one is not surprised because, his younger brother is in the race, under another party platform. If he would support another party, his brother will be affected negatively. I believe, and believe strongly that Anambra, Igbo and well-meaning Nigerians, irrespective of state of origin or religion, will support Peter Obi to the fullest.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
