Senator Victor Umeh told Governor Soludo to stop trying to bring down Peter Obi's political career, warning that working against a fellow igbo leader will cause a major political fight.
He said such a move would be a serious wrong and could lead to trouble.
He made the remarks at a gathering in the state, and a video of his speech has since gone viral.
Umeh said some people are asking Igbo voters to back someone else, but that would only hurt the Igbo people.
He described himself as an Igbo activist who speaks up in the Senate on national issues, especially those affecting the Igbo.
He called Obi the conscience of this election and said any Igbo person who refuses to vote for him is an enemy of the Igbo people.
He also reminded the governor that he helped put him in office and that no one has become governor of the state since 2003 without his backing.
He said the governor holds the job in trust for everyone and should carry out his duties with honour, not turn against his own brother.
Umeh added that people on the other side are urging support for Tinubu, while his camp is standing for Obi, whom he described as a man of truth.
If Obi becomes president, it will be a victory for the entire Igbo ethnic group.
