Soludo Tells Why He Was Asked To Leave His Seat At President Tinubu’s Inauguration

Anambra state Governor, Charles Soludo has revealed why he shifted from the first seat he sat at the inauguration ceremony of President Bola Tinubu.

Soludo was one of the special guests at the event that was held at the Eagle Square, Abuja on May 29, 2023.

Talking about the development that has attracted widespread speculation, the Anambra Governor explained that “We were at the Eagle Square, venue of the inauguration in Abuja. The sitting arrangements were right where the VIPs were, and we went there, and they told us that we had a sitting arrangement, and they directed us to where we were supposed to stay, which was even VVIP.

“So we left there and went along with the CBN Governor, other governors, the Dangotes and Oni of Ife, only for me to get out of the square and hear that Soludo was bounced off the VIP and asked to go and stay with the masses.”

He made the clarification during the inauguration of the regional headquarters of his political party, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Awka, on Tuesday.

Tinubu is the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Governor asserted that “Actually, if I knew that it was what was going to happen, I would have preferred to stay with the masses, and that is where I belong. I am for the masses, and to demonstrate that what happened on that day is a thing of the masses.”
