Wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Mrs Nonye Soludo, has asked the deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the forthcoming governorship election, Senator Uche Ekwunife, to leave her out of politics and concentrate on her struggles.

Mrs Soludo who was reacting to a video where the senator, while trying to attack the governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, stated that his wife, Nonye, worked with Mbadinuju’s government, which was considered to have failed.

But Mrs Soludo in her reply urged Ekwunife to rather focus on how to defend her PhD degree, which have been allegedly found out to be fake and issued by an unaccredited institution.

The wife of the governor in a statement signed by her media Adviser, Mr Daniel Ezeigwe said: “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.”
