Anambra State First Lady, Nonye Soludo, has berated the deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Uche Ekwunife, over what she described as “malicious allegations” against the first family in the state.
Ekwunife had claimed that Governor Chukwuma Soludo and his wife were part of the administration of the late Governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju between 1999 and 2003, and that the governor's wife had intimate relationship with Mbadinuju, while reacting to reports questioning her academic qualifications by Governor Chukwwuma Soludo.
However, in a statement weekend, Mrs Soludo challenged Ekwunife to take a public oath of faithfulness to her husband as well as conduct DNA tests on her children to ascertain if actually her husband fathered all of them, warning that, she would take legal action, if Ekwunife did not withdraw her claims and apologize within 72 hours.to her family.
Soludo said, “For starters, let me repeat three verifiable facts. One, I have never worked for anyone in my life. I have been a professional and an entrepreneur all my adult life. Two, I never met Dr. Mbadinuju of blessed memory in my life. Three, in my 55 years on planet earth, I have known only one man, Chukwuma Soludo...
“Since she claims to be a converted Catholic, I challenge her and both of us to swear an oath of fidelity and chastity at any Cathedral in front of the Blessed Sacrament. I will also swear with my children that I have known only one man, Chukwuma Soludo...
“As a businesswoman, I will pay for your and your family’s travels (to London) as well as for the tests. If, after the tests, it is confirmed that your husband is the father of all your children, I will congratulate you with a cash award. I can confirm that my family is ready for this test at any moment of your choice,”
Nonye Soludo further suggested that DNA tests be conducted for both families at three reputable hospitals in London, offering to pay for all expenses.

But responding to the challenge, Ekwunife, also said on Saturday that her initial comments were meant as “friendly advice” to Soludo, adding, “Mrs. Soludo does not owe me any explanation regarding personal family matters. If my statement caused any discomfort to Mrs. Soludo, she owes her husband an explanation, not me.
“Challenging me to respond or undergo tests does not involve me, as I am not part of her family affairs. She should focus on addressing any concerns with her husband.”
