No Matter What Soludo Does, Obi Will Continue To Be More Popular Than Him – Umeh

Nigerian politician Victor Umeh has expressed confidence that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), will continue to enjoy greater popularity than Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, regardless of the achievements or political activities of the incumbent governor.

Umeh made the assertion during an interview on Channels Television on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, while discussing the political standing of the two prominent figures from Anambra State. During the interview, Umeh argued that Obi’s popularity extends beyond Anambra State and has earned him recognition across Nigeria.

According to the politician, whatever Soludo does as governor, it will not change the position Obi occupies in the hearts of many people. His remarks highlighted the contrast between the public profiles of the former Anambra governor and the incumbent governor.

Speaking during the programme, Umeh stated that Obi would continue to enjoy greater public recognition than Soludo, both within their home state and across the country.

He made his position clear in the following words: “Today, no matter what Soludo does, Peter Obi will continue to be more popular than him, both in Anambra State and Nigeria at large.”

Umeh’s statement reflects his assessment of the political influence and public appeal of the two leaders. Peter Obi, who previously served as governor of Anambra State, has maintained a significant presence in national political discussions, particularly following his participation in Nigeria’s presidential elections.

His political activities have attracted supporters from different parts of the country, contributing to his national profile. Governor Soludo, on the other hand, has pursued his own governance agenda since assuming office in Anambra State.
