Mrs Nonye Soludo, wife of the Anambra State Governor, has responded to APC deputy governorship candidate Senator Uche Ekwunife, who mocked Governor Soludo in a viral video.
In her reply, she dismissed the remark and urged Ekwunife to instead address allegations that her PhD was obtained from an unaccredited institution.
Mrs Nonye Soludo, wife of the Anambra State Governor, has responded to APC deputy governorship candidate Senator Uche Ekwunife, who recently mocked Governor Soludo, alleging he has mouth and body odour.
In a statement by her media aide, Daniel Ezeigwe, Mrs Soludo urged Ekwunife to focus instead on defending her allegedly fake PhD obtained from an unaccredited institution.
“At no time was Soludo nor his wife involved in the government of the time (Mbadinuju). Though it is sad that Senator Ekwunife would rather resort to inciting hate and name-calling against a woman who is widely loved by the people, the truth is that, unlike Ekwunife herself, the governor’s wife can never be drawn to political or personal debasement.
“To bring clarity to light and to ensure that unsuspecting members of the public — especially Ndi Anambra who hold the Soludos in the highest esteem — do not get misled by false information, we wish to establish that at no point did the wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Dr. (Mrs) Frances Nonye Soludo work or was involved in any role in the administration of Ex-Governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju.
“The viral recorded clip, where Senator Uche Ekwunife falsely stated that the governor’s wife was part of late Dr. Mbadinuju’s administration, should be totally disregarded as a statement of mischief and pure deceit.”
Mrs Soludo urged Ekwunife to concentrate on her political journey and leave her out in her attempt to derail the argument about the authenticity or otherwise of her PhD degree.
The statement added, “While we understand Senator Ekwunife’s natural disposition to petty contrivance, including investing in lies and fallacious claims, it is important to state that at the time of Governor Mbadinuju’s tenure, Dr. Nonye was already doing well as an established entrepreneur in agriculture and real estate.
“We also challenge Senator Ekwunife to stick to the line of the argument and bring verifiable proofs that her Degree and PhD certificates are said to be fake are actually real.”
The statement rather challenged Ekwunife to explain to Anambra people her role in the Mbadinuju administration, which was said to be partly the reason it failed.
“We, therefore, urge Senator Ekwunife to stop swinging the conversation and focus solely on explaining to Ndi Anambra her involvement in the political disaster of the state between 1999 and 2003.”
