“I Have Known Only One Man, I Married Soludo a Virgin” — Anambra First Lady Nonye Soludo Threatens to Sue Ekwunife Over Infidelity Claims
The political feud in Anambra State has escalated as Nonye Soludo, wife of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, issued a 72-hour ultimatum to former senator and APC deputy governorship candidate, Uche Ekwunife, demanding a retraction and public apology over allegations of infidelity.
In a statement released on Saturday, Mrs Soludo dismissed the accusations as “wilful and malicious,” warning that legal action would follow if Mrs Ekwunife failed to recant.
“My lawyers have also been put on notice. I will still as a Christian give Uche a chance to repent and ensure restitution by recanting her wilful and malicious allegations within 72 hours and tendering an unreserved apology. Take note Uche that if you fail to do so, I will take every step necessary to ensure justice and restitution,” she declared.
The controversy began after a viral video surfaced showing Mrs Ekwunife alleging that Mrs Soludo had an affair with late Anambra governor, Chinwoke Mbadinuju, and questioning the paternity of her children. The remarks were widely seen as a counter-attack following Governor Soludo’s criticism of Ekwunife’s academic qualifications, particularly her claimed Ph.D.
Rejecting the claims, Mrs Soludo said she had never met the late Mbadinuju and reaffirmed her marital fidelity:
“In my 55 years on planet earth, I have known only one man, Chukwuma Soludo. I married him as a virgin, and my fidelity to him in 33 years of marriage and for life is ironclad.”
To further challenge her accuser, Mrs Soludo proposed that both families undergo DNA testing in three London hospitals, pledging to cover all expenses. She also dared Mrs Ekwunife to take an oath of fidelity before the Catholic Church’s Blessed Sacrament.
“I will swear with my children that in my 55 years on earth, I have known only one man — Chukwuma Soludo. On your part, you should also swear with your children,” she added.
The fiery exchange has added new tension to Anambra’s political space, drawing widespread public reactions as observers await whether Mrs Ekwunife will respond to the ultimatum or face potential legal consequences.
