Reacting to viral video clips and online reports alleging such a consultation, Soludo through his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime described the claims as “totally false” and “deliberately fabricated.”
In a press statement released on Tuesday, Aburime clarified that the footage being circulated was from an official meeting between the state government and Anambra-based content creators, not a spiritual consultation. The interactive session, organized by the Governor’s Special Senior Assistant on New Media, Mazi Ejimofor Opara, was aimed at strengthening partnerships with the local creative industry.
“During the session, one of the content creators performed a native doctor skit a popular comic genre in Nigerian entertainment as part of a talent showcase,” the statement explained.“It was strictly entertainment, not a spiritual exercise.”
Aburime condemned what he called the deliberate twisting of an innocent performance into a political smear campaign. He reaffirmed that Governor Soludo does not rely on superstitious practices but on his achievements and vision for Anambra’s development.
He pointed to projects like the recently launched Solution Fun City as evidence of Soludo’s commitment to the creative and economic growth of the state, saying such initiatives form part of the governor’s broader “solution agenda.”
The governor has no need to consult a native doctor for re-election. His focus is on delivering good governance and relying on the support of Ndi Anambra, the statement added.
The government urged the public, media platforms, and social media users to disregard the false reports and verify information before sharing.
Governor Soludo remains undeterred by political distractions and remains focused on building a prosperous and livable Anambra State.
