Wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Mrs Nonye Soludo, has denied claims that former governor of the state and political rival of her husband, Mr Peter Obi, was a godfather of one of their sons at baptism.
A statement by the Media Assistant to the First Lady of Anambra State, Mr Dan Ezeigwe, said Mrs Soludo sought to put the record straight because of a viral video of Obi claiming to be the godfather of one of her sons.
She said: “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.
“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.
“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 Obi’s daughter, Mrs. Margaret Obi, wife of Mr. Peter Obi, is the baptismal godmother to one of Professor Chukwuma Soludo’s daughters. Neither Mr. Obi nor Professor Soludo has served as a godparent to the other’s children.
