Anambra Election: Mrs. Soludo and Ekwunife Engage in Heated Exchange

AWKA, Nigeria — The political landscape in Anambra State has been stirred by a public dispute between Dr. Nonye Soludo, wife of Governor Chukwuma Soludo, and Senator Uche Ekwunife, the All Progressives Congress (APC) deputy governorship candidate for the upcoming November 8 election.

The contention began when Governor Soludo’s campaign questioned the authenticity of Senator Ekwunife’s academic qualifications, alleging that her PhD was obtained from an unaccredited institution. [1] In response, Senator Ekwunife made remarks implicating Dr. Soludo, suggesting her involvement in the administration of former Governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju.

Dr. Soludo refuted these claims, stating she had never met the late Governor Mbadinuju and criticized Ekwunife for dragging her family into political disputes. [2] She challenged Ekwunife to subject their children to paternity tests in reputable London hospitals and proposed both swear oaths of fidelity and chastity in a cathedral, asserting her own marital fidelity. [3]The exchange has drawn attention in Anambra’s political circles, with observers urging both parties to focus on policy issues rather than personal attacks as the election approaches.
