Key Points:
- Soludo rejects what she calls false claims and sets a 72-hour clock. She threatens a lawsuit if Ekwunife refuses to apologise.
- She proposes a public oath in a Cathedral and DNA tests. She says she will fund travel and all London test costs.
- Ekwunife downplays the dare and calls her words friendly advice. She says family issues belong to the Soludos alone.
The First Lady of Anambra, Dr Nonye Soludo, has drawn a bold line. She says Senator Uche Ekwunife made “malicious allegations” about her home. She vows to sue if the senator fails to apologise. The clock, she adds, will run for seventy-two hours.
She then lays out her next moves in plain words. First, she dares Ekwunife to a public oath in a Cathedral. Next, she invites both families to do DNA tests in London. She says she will pay for every step and trip.
Soludo lists “three facts,” vows public oath and tests
Soludo names three short points to frame her stand. “I have never worked for anyone in my life,” she says. “I never met Dr Mbadinuju of blessed memory in my life,” she adds. “In my 55 years, I have known only one man, Chukwuma Soludo.”
She then turns to a faith-based dare for clarity. “Since she claims to be a converted Catholic, let us swear,” she says. She wants the oath before the Blessed Sacrament in a Cathedral. She says she will stand with her children and repeat her vow.
Money will not be a hurdle, she assures the public. “As a businesswoman, I will pay for your family’s travel,” she says. She also offers to cover all DNA tests in London. She even promises a cash award if results clear Ekwunife’s spouse.
Meanwhile, politics in Anambra stays tense on many fronts. Recent rows over local projects also drew heat online.
An Aguata empowerment drive by Dominic Okafor sparked backlash and debate. Read the full update on that Aguata empowerment backlash.
Ekwunife declines the dare, calls it friendly advice
Ekwunife pushes back with a calm reply to the storm. She says she only gave a simple, friendly piece of advice. “Mrs Soludo does not owe me any explanation,” she notes. “She owes her husband an explanation, not me,” she adds.
The senator also distances herself from private family issues. “Challenging me to respond or undergo tests does not involve me,” she says.
She insists she is not part of the Soludo family affair. She urges the First Lady to discuss concerns with her husband.
Her focus, she says, will stay on public work. She vows to help fix Anambra with firm, clear steps. “My resolve to contribute positively remains strong and undaunted,” she states. She calls for calm as campaign noise grows across the state.
Wider DNA rows keep trending in pop culture
Across social media, DNA spats keep drawing fresh views. Fans debate paternity claims and loud live chats each week. Helen Atti even released a song that kept pressure high. Catch the latest turn in the Helen Atti DNA dispute.
As this face-off builds, both sides stand their ground. Soludo sets terms, time, place, and full funding for tests. Ekwunife declines and reframes the chat as mere advice. The state now watches to see who blinks or moves next
