Legit.ng gathered the claim, which was attributed to Soludo, may have been extracted from an interview Peter Obi granted on August 27, 2018.
Obi said then in the interview:
“Tomorrow they are commissioning Sagamu building – the biggest brewery in Africa. Anambra state is the single-highest shareholder in that facility. I invested in it over $20 million. It is almost worth $100 today.”
But reacting to the viral statement on Monday, June 20, Soludo said:
“Where did you read or hear me make such false statement?
“This fake news has been roundly debunked by my team. We can always carry on with campaigning for our preferred candidates without consciously misleading the reading public. This report is false and never emanated from me. Thank you.”
