Mrs. Nonye Soludo, the wife of the Anambra State Governor, has openly challenged Senator Uche Ekwunife to swear an oath of loyalty before the Blessed Virgin Mary and to have both their children undergo paternity verification.
This development comes in response to recent remarks by Ekwunife, the All Progressives Congress (APC) deputy governorship candidate, who alleged that Mrs. Soludo had close ties with and previously worked under ex-governor Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju.
In a statement released on Friday, Mrs. Soludo refuted the allegations, accusing the senator of fabricating stories and unfairly involving her children in political rivalry.
She condemned Ekwunife’s actions as intentionally damaging and warned that legal proceedings would be initiated if the senator failed to retract her remarks and publicly apologize within 72 hours.
According to Mrs. Soludo, taking a public oath would provide a definitive test of personal integrity and help bring clarity to the controversy.
“Since Uche Ekwunife claims to be a converted Catholic, I challenge her for both of us to swear an oath of fidelity and chastity at any cathedral in front of the Blessed Sacrament and the Bible.
“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 or your political ambitions) that since you got married, you have never cheated on your husband,” she said.
The governor’s wife also further said: “I challenge you, Uche Ekwunife, for us to subject our children to paternity tests in three reputable hospitals in London. I will pay all the expenses, including travel for you and your family.”
She added that if the results confirmed that Ekwunife’s husband fathered all her children, she would not only congratulate her but also present a cash award.
Describing herself as a quiet family woman, Mrs Soludo stressed her Christian and conservative upbringing.
“I married him as a virgin and my fidelity to him in 33 years of marriage and for life is ironclad,” she asserted.
She further noted that she had never worked for government nor depended on public funds, even as First Lady of Anambra State.
Vowing to sustain her defence with dignity, Mrs Soludo likened the clash with Senator Ekwunife to a long-distance race.
“My weapons are decency, character, and grace. I am a long-distance runner, and I welcome you to the marathon,” she said.
The confrontation between the two women traces back to Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s questions over Senator Ekwunife’s academic qualifications.
The senator responded with sharp criticisms, prompting the governor’s wife to step into the fray.
