Peter Obi said this at the 2022 Lagos Business School Alumni Conference, which was held on Tuesday.
Obi said, “He (Soludo) remains my brother. For other things (that) I did not succeed (in doing), God has given him the opportunity to succeed. For me, you don’t finish governance. You stop where you stop and other people continue from there. He is the governor of my state, he is my senior brother and he is even more intelligent than me because he is a professor and I am a trader.
“So, he knows more, and should be able to do things better than I am doing it. I have done my little own as a trader, now the professor is there, he should be able to do his own as a professor. The schools I didn’t roof, he should roof them, another person will do his own too.
“The one they said is worthless, we invested N3.5 billion in International Breweries…that facility is there employing directly and indirectly over 10,000 Anambarians. The share was at a time being sold at N50, today the share is about N5 or so.
“When you spread your investment, some will go up, some will come down but overall, the company is still there. The company is still doing well, it is still part of the global chain and everything. I needed to explain it not because I am defending the comments by my brother.”

“So, don’t bother about those things. I have always told people that when you are given the opportunity to serve, use it and showcase what you can do, and stop criticizing somebody who has already left. You have been given the opportunity now, show it. I’m a professor, professor well…I’m a doctor, doctor well, I am a lawyer, lawyer well, I am a mechanic, mechanic well.”
