National Coordinator of APGA Media Warriors Chinedu Obigwe in a statement in Awka described the allegation as a fabricated tissue of lies that can only fly in the foolish imagination of Anambra disgruntled opposition elements.
"For me, they are confused political bigots that must be ignored and their tissue of lies thrown to the trash bin. The truth is that Anambra disgruntled opposition elements have clearly read the handwriting on the wall, seen their defeat ahead of the forthcoming November 8th governorship election and resorted to the use of childish blackmail against Governor Soludo to score cheap political points.
"What I will tell them is that childish blackmail cannot save them on November 8th. They will definitely have a taste of the defeat that is clearly staring them on their faces.
"Governor Soludo did not at any time promise cash for votes, rather what the Governor did was that he turned the November 8th governorship election to a healthy competition for APGA faithful in the 21 local government areas of Anambra State. He promised a motivational reward for any ward that takes 1st , 2nd and 3rd positions in all the the local government areas in the State.
"He did not tell anybody that he will give them cash to vote for APGA.The Electoral Act 2022 did not criminalise motivational reward after election rather the Electoral act criminalised voters inducement which is giving someone money to vote for you.
Obigwe further said: "Governor Soludo is confident of clinching a well deserved victory in the November 8th governorship election because his administration achievements in the State speaks for itself.
"He has done marvellously well in the State and his good works can as well be likened to a 9months old pregnancy that cannot be covered with bare hands.
