Ekwunife, in a press release signed on her behalf by her Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Tony Ezike, apologised to Soludo and his wife.
Senator Uche Ekwunife, the Deputy Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has tendered an apology to the Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo, and his wife, Nonye Soludo.
This followed alleged claim she made accusing Nonye of infidelity.
Recall that the senator and the governor’s wife have been engaged in a war of words, following a verbal exchange said to have been sparked by the governor, who accused the senator of holding a fake PhD.
In her response to the governor, Ekwunife dragged his wife into the dispute with claims of infidelity.
The first lady, on her part, challenged the Senator to a DNA test on the children in both their families.
However, Ekwunife, in a press release signed on her behalf by her Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Tony Ezike, apologised to Soludo and his wife.
The statement read: “The attention of Sen. Uche Ekwunife, the Anambra All Progressives Congress (APC) Deputy Governorship Candidate, has been drawn to an article falsely attributed to her camp, alleging that Mrs. Nonye Soludo, the wife of the Anambra State Governor, had children for Chief Chris Uba.
“Sen. Uche Ekwunife categorically states that although she has been maligned, defamed, and disparaged by the governor’s media team, the said publication did not emanate from her or her camp.
“She further wishes to apologise to the Governor, his wife, and the general public who may have been affected by the altercations of the past few days.
“Sen. Ekwunife calls on her supporters to remain focused and avoid any media writing that may suggest altercation with the First Family or any other person as she continues with her campaigns.”
