The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra State has reacted to Senator Uche Ekwunife’s refusal to accept a public challenge issued by Dr. Nonye Soludo, wife of Governor Charles Soludo, for a paternity test involving their respective children.
According to the party, Ekwunife’s decision to decline the test did not come as a surprise, citing her alleged fears over the possible implications of the test results.
Ekwunife reportedly turned down the challenge, stating that Dr. Nonye Soludo owed no one but her husband, Governor Soludo, an explanation.
She maintained that “only a woman knows the paternity of her children.”
In response, Evangelist Chinedu Obigwe, the Coordinator of the APGA Media Warriors, claimed Ekwunife’s refusal validated the innocence of Dr. Nonye Soludo regarding the allegations made against her by the former senator.
“I expected Senator Uche Ekwunife to chicken out of the paternity test challenge given to her by our own living Saint in the person of Her Excellency Nonye Soludo because of her despicable antecedents,” Obigwe said.
“Senator Uche Ekwunife could not take the challenge because of its grave implications at the end of the day.”
Obigwe went on to describe Dr. Soludo as a “lamb without blemish,” asserting that her character and integrity should not be questioned.
“Her Excellency Nonye Soludo, that is an undisputed living Saint, cannot be associated with Ekwunife and that is why she boldly challenged the public toilet her to a paternity test of their respective children.”
“My position is that when the name of a living Saint like Her Excellency Nonye Soludo is mentioned, the likes of Ekwunife should not be mentioned anywhere around her.”
“It is now on record that Senator Uche Ekwunife ran away from the paternity test challenge given to her by Her Excellency Nonye Soludo.”
Obigwe concluded by suggesting that Ekwunife’s refusal to participate in the test pointed to hidden truths she was afraid to reveal.
“The reason why Senator Uche Ekwunife chickened out of the paternity test challenge is because she has skeletons in her cupboard and cannot withstand the revelation the paternity test results will bring to her,” he said.
“In all honesty, Her Excellency Nonye Soludo is a role model to women that value their dignity more than gold, and for me, she is a living Saint on earth.”
