The Deputy Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Uche Ekwunife, has denied infidelity allegations she heaped on the head of Anambra state first lady Mrs Soludo
The senator and the governor’s wife had been engaged in a bitter war of words, following a verbal exchange said to have been sparked by the governor, who accused the senator of holding a fake PhD.
In her response to the governor, Ekwunife dragged his wife into the dispute with claims of infidelity, an allegation Mrs Soludo has long rejected, challenging both a fidelity test and a paternity test for all their children.
Ekwunife, in a press release signed on her behalf by her Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Tony Ezike, apologised to Soludo and his wife and distanced herself from the writeup that alleged the governors wife had kids for Chief Chris Uba.
The statement read:
“The attention of Sen. Uche Ekwunife, the Anambra All Progressives Congress (APC) Deputy Governorship Candidate, has been drawn to an article falsely attributed to her camp, alleging that Mrs. Nonye Soludo, the wife of the Anambra State Governor, had children for Chief Chris Uba.
“Sen. Uche Ekwunife categorically states that although she has been maligned, defamed, and disparaged by the governor’s media team, the said publication did not emanate from her or her camp.
“She further wishes to apologise to the Governor, his wife, and the general public who may have been affected by the altercations of the past few days.
“Sen. Ekwunife calls on her supporters to remain focused and avoid any media writing that may suggest altercation with the First Family or any other person as she continues with her campaigns.”
