Anambra State First Lady, Dr Nonye Soludo, has clarified that former governor Peter Obi is not the godfather of any of her children, contradicting a recent claim by the 2027 presidential candidate.
Obi had told the Nigerian Guild of Editors in Enugu on Friday that he and his wife, Margaret, were godparents to Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s children while insisting that there was no personal feud between him and the governor.
However, in a statement issued by her Media Assistant, Dan Ezeigwe, Mrs Soludo said the claim was false and urged the public to disregard the impression created by Obi’s remarks.
“We urge members of the public, the media and all concerned to take note of this clarification and disregard any impression created by the statement that Mr. Peter Obi is godfather to any of Governor Soludo’s children,” she said.
She added, “It is possible that Mr. Peter Obi simply misspoke in the course of making his remarks. However, given the widespread circulation of the video and the enquiries it has generated, it is important that the record be set straight.”
