The First Lady of Anambra State, Dr. Nonye Soludo, has dismissed as false a claim by former Governor of the state, Mr. Peter Obi, that he and his wife are godparents to the children of Governor Chukwuma Soludo.

In a statement signed by her Media Assistant, Mr. Dan Ezeigwe, the First Lady’s office said the claim, contained in a viral video, is inaccurate and does not reflect the true nature of the relationship between the two families.

The statement clarified that Mr. Peter Obi is not a godfather to any of the children of Professor Chukwuma and Dr. Nonye Soludo.

It further explained that Dr. Nonye Soludo is the confirmation godmother to one of Mr. Obi’s daughters, while Mrs. Margaret Obi, wife of the former governor, is the baptismal godmother to one of Governor Soludo’s daughters.

According to the statement, neither Mr. Obi nor Professor Soludo has ever served as a godparent to the other’s children.

Mr. Ezeigwe noted that it is possible Mr. Obi simply misspoke while making the remarks. He stressed, however, that the widespread circulation of the video and the enquiries it has generated made it necessary to set the record straight.

The statement described the relationship between the two families as cordial and urged members of the public, the media and all concerned to disregard any impression that Mr. Peter Obi is godfather to any of Governor Soludo’s children.

The wife is a Godmother to one of your children and you are a Godmother to one of his children, and we are godparent to each others child, what is the difference?
sometimes, if i want to avoid using father or mother, I use parent for either of the two

This Soludo family is simply in competition with Mr Peter Obi family

Richtaiwo:
I don't know why a man as old as Peter Obi should be lying? Will he die if he skip a day without lying?

Ofunaofu:
I don't know what Soludo is competing with Peter Obi over.

Peter Obi is not after his office. Peter Obi has done his part and left 13 years ago. Soludo is doing his part and failing woefully. And now wants to blame Peter Obi for his catastrophic failure as governor

Ofunaofu:
I am very sure you didn't even read the article, or perhaps you read it but have a comprehension problem. You just saw the headline and ran with it, just to spew your usual hate.

FSBoperator:
Interpreter, are you going to spin this as you all did with Giringori lambaring that he borrowed money to save in the bank to generate interest on it?

Ofunaofu:
Yours is even worse. You are a notorious wanderer here, always jumping from one thread to another without comprehending what you read, then confidently spewing the same old hate.

aswani:
Maggie is a godmother and godparent, Peter Obi is not God anything to Prof's children.

Peter Obi said "we are godparents", he should have said "my wife is a godparent", there is a big difference.

One is a truth, the other is a blatant lie, a lie from the deekest, darkest, depths of hell.

Peter Obi must stop with all of this untruths.

bigpicture001:
If I were OBi , I think it is time I sued the Anambra government of defamation of character..ND I will sue for 60billiin naira



And we go to court..if I win as Obi, I will take the money and share it to the people of Anambra..cuz it is all clear that defamation of character is what soludo is after...


He is a very petty politician...he did this same shit during Ngozi okonjo iweala time

naptu2:
So why hasn't he sued??

Racoon:
Soludo's wife have also joined the fray. So what is the fuse about the Obi's family being godparents to your children? I say it and will keep on saying it; unbridled envy, hate and jealousy are the weak points of Charles Soludo.
