- Anambra’s political scene is heating up as APC deputy governorship candidate Uche Ekwunife and Governor Chukwuma Soludo trade personal and political attacks ahead of the November election.
- The feud began after Soludo questioned Ekwunife’s academic qualifications, prompting her to accuse him of poor leadership and make damaging allegations about his family.
Anambra politics has taken a heated turn as Uche Ekwunife, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Deputy Governorship candidate, reportedly snubbed Governor Chukwuma Soludo at a recent public event, intensifying tensions between the two ahead of the November governorship election.
The feud between both politicians began after Governor Soludo questioned the authenticity of Ekwunife’s academic credentials, particularly her PhD.
In response, Ekwunife launched a fiery counterattack, criticizing Soludo’s leadership style and accusing him of neglecting governance and security issues in Anambra State. She also made personal allegations about his hygiene.

The clash escalated when Ekwunife alleged that Soludo’s wife, Nonye Soludo, had an affair with the late former governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju and cast doubts on the paternity of some of her children.
Reacting swiftly, Mrs. Soludo issued a 72-hour ultimatum demanding a retraction and public apology, warning of legal action if Ekwunife failed to comply. She also challenged Ekwunife to take an oath of chastity and called for a DNA test to clear the air.
Ekwunife, however, dismissed the threats, insisting that Mrs. Soludo should direct her explanations to her husband, not her.
