Umeadi who addressed journalists, said he did not receive any form of support or encouragement from the duo, including funds.
“No doubt, Prof. Umeadi actually shows in his personal capacity that he could do it. But the party and the governor, who was elected under APGA, has not shown him any support. In fact, the party’s leadership abandoned him and they are doing the same to our Delta State candidate.”
However, Soludo, through his Chief Press Secretary Osagie Christian Aburime, denied the allegations. The governor’s aide described them as untrue, adding that his principal supported the presidential candidate in all ramification.
Aburime said;
“Don’t forget: the governor got his ticket under APGA. As the leader of the party, the onus lies on him to support the flag bearer, which he has done for Prof. Peter Umeadi.”
