Obi’s investments in Anambra worth very little – Soludo

The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, on Thursday, downplayed the investments credited to the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the state.

Soludo, who featured in a Channels Television programme, Politics Today, said he was not aware of investments made by his predecessors.

Obi served as governor of the state from 2006 to 2014

The LP candidate had said in 2018 that he invested $20 million in International Breweries on behalf of the state.

He revealed that the investment appreciated to $100 million the same year.

Soludo, however, said the investments in question are now worth next to nothing.

He said: “By the way the one (investment) that you’re talking about, I don’t know anything about that. I think there was something I read about somebody speculating about whatever investment. With what I’ve seen today, the value of those investments is worth next to nothing. So, let’s leave that aside.”
