Anambra Governor Chukwuma Soludo says he has no personal quarrel with former governor Peter Obi.
Speaking to an online reporter on Monday, he said their families are close and that their disagreements are purely political.
He said the two families have strong ties.
Obi’s wife was the baptismal godmother to one of Soludo’s daughters, and Soludo’s wife was the confirmation godmother to Obi’s daughter.
Soludo said both men backed different candidates in the last Anambra governorship election, and that he won with God’s help.
Soludo also revisited his 2022 article questioning Obi’s chances in the presidential race.
His point was that Obi’s run would split opposition votes and help Tinubu win.
He also said an opposition alliance alone would not guarantee a win against an incumbent.
He added that he was the one who invited Obi to join APGA in 2022 so he could run for president, and that the plan was first to rally the Igbo people before seeking power.
