Anambra 2025: Uche Ekwunife Fires Back at Governor Soludo Over Certificate Controversy (VIDEO)
Deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State, Senator Uche Ekwunife, has launched a blistering attack on Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, following allegations that her PhD certificate was obtained from an unaccredited university in the United States.
In a video circulating online, Ekwunife dismissed the governor’s claims, describing him as an “illiterate professor” and challenging him to seek legal redress if he doubts the authenticity of her academic qualifications.
“Go to Court if My PhD Is Fake”
“Go to court if you claim my PhD certificate is fake. It is evident that your professorship is just a department award,” Ekwunife said.
She further dared Governor Soludo to verify her degrees at the University of Calabar, where she obtained her first degree, and at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, where she bagged her Master’s, before questioning her doctorate.
Accuses Soludo of Failure in Governance
Turning to governance, Ekwunife accused Soludo of presiding over insecurity and decline in Anambra State. According to her, the state, once known for peace and commerce, has now become a place people flee from due to widespread violence.
“All the bushes in Anambra State are full of corpses. Anambra used to be a peaceful state. Every Thursday, traders used to come in to buy, but now people are running away from Anambra,” she said.
She further alleged that under Soludo’s watch, insecurity had claimed the lives of several citizens, including two members of the State House of Assembly.
Personal Attack on Governor
In a sharp personal jab, Ekwunife mocked Soludo as a “smelling professor,” urging him to use deodorant.
“Tell your wife to buy you some deodorant to help you stop smelling,” she said in the viral video, sparking strong reactions among political observers.
Governor Soludo had earlier alleged that Ekwunife’s PhD was awarded by an unrecognized university abroad. The heated exchange now adds to the rising political tension in Anambra ahead of the upcoming elections.
