The media aide to Anambra State First Lady Dr Nonye Soludo, Daniel Ezeigwe, has disputed former governor Peter Obis claim that he and his wife are godparents to Governor Chukwuma Soludo's children. Speaking at the Nigerian Guild of Editors Conference in Enugu State on Friday, September 25, Obi said he and his wife were godparents to Soludos children and that, despite their political differences, he bears no grudges against Soludo.People might not know, my wife and I are godparents to Soludos children.
Yes, we are that close. So we are not quarrelling, and we will never quarrel. If I see him any day, me and him will hug and everything. If they say anything, Ill answer them, Obi said.However, in a statement issued today, Daniel Ezeigwe the media aide to the Anambra State First Lady, Dr Nonye Soludo, said there is no truth in Obi's claim. The statement readThe attention of the First Lady of Anambra State, Dr Nonye Soludo, has been drawn to a viral video in which the former Governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, claimed that he and his wife are godparents to Soludos children.Following the widespread circulation of the video, we have received several calls and enquiries seeking clarification on the claim.We hereby state clearly that the claim, as presented, is false.
For the avoidance of doubt: Mr Peter Obi is not a godfather to any of the children of Professor Chukwuma and Dr Nonye Soludo.The facts concerning the godparent relationship between the two families are as follows: Dr Nonye Soludo, First Lady of Anambra State, is the confirmation godmother to Peter Obis daughter.Mrs Margaret Obi, wife of Mr Peter Obi, is the baptismal godmother to one of Prof Chukwuma Soludos daughters.Neither Mr Obi nor Professor Soludo has served as a godparent to the others children.
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. The relationship between the two families is cordial and there is no need to misrepresent it in any manner.''
