Anambra First Lady Nonye Soludo Gives Uche Ekwunife 72 Hours to Retract Infidelity Claims, Threatens Legal Action
The political rivalry in Anambra State has taken a dramatic turn as Nonye Soludo, wife of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has 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 strongly worded statement released on Saturday, Mrs Soludo described the accusations as “wilful and malicious,” warning that failure to recant would leave her with no option but to seek legal redress.
“My lawyers have been put on notice. As a Christian, I will still give Uche a chance to repent and make restitution by withdrawing her false allegations within 72 hours and tendering an unreserved apology. If she fails, I will take every necessary step to ensure justice,” she declared.
The feud erupted after a viral video captured Mrs Ekwunife alleging that Mrs Soludo had an affair with late Anambra governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju and questioning the paternity of her children. The remarks came shortly after Governor Soludo publicly challenged Ekwunife’s academic credentials, particularly her claimed Ph.D.
Firing back, Mrs Soludo dismissed the claims as baseless:
“In my 55 years on earth, I have known only one man — Chukwuma Soludo. I married him a virgin, and my fidelity in 33 years of marriage, and for life, is ironclad.”
To prove her innocence, she went further, proposing DNA tests for both families in three London hospitals, promising to foot all expenses. She also challenged Mrs Ekwunife to take an oath of fidelity before the Blessed Sacrament in the Catholic Church.
“I will swear with my children that I have known only one man, my husband. On your part, you should also swear with your children,” she added.
The explosive exchange has heightened political tensions in Anambra, sparking widespread public debate as Nigerians watch to see whether Mrs Ekwunife will issue an apology or face legal consequences.
