Dr. Nonye Soludo, wife of Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo, has strongly condemned the recent personal attacks made by the All Progressives Congress (APC) deputy governorship candidate, Uche Ekwunife, who accused the governor of having body odour and bad breath.<\/p>\n
In a recent viral video, Ekwunife \u2014 a former senator representing Anambra Central \u2014 launched a scathing attack on Governor Soludo, claiming he emits foul odour and has poor hygiene. Her comments appeared to be in retaliation to Soludo\u2019s earlier remarks questioning the credibility of her doctorate degree, which he alleged was obtained from an unaccredited university in the United States.<\/p>\n
In response, Ekwunife denied the governor\u2019s claims and dared him to verify her academic records, stating:<\/p>\n
\u201cGo to court if you claim my PhD certificate is fake. Visit Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, for my Master\u2019s degree and the University of Calabar for my Bachelor\u2019s degree. I earned both before obtaining my PhD.\u201d<\/p>\n
She further said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe illiterate professor who claims to be the governor of Anambra State should leave me alone. Nigeria is a democratic country, and every political party knows its candidate.<\/p>\n
Soludo has contested the governorship twice before Willie Obiano imposed him on Ndi Anambra.<\/p>\n
Anambra has become unsafe; people now avoid the state, which once attracted visitors.<\/p>\n
Has no one told you that your mouth smells? You’re the dirtiest governor in Africa. You stink\u2014your armpits smell. Ask your wife to buy you deodorant. When you bathe, apply it under your arms like every normal man.<\/p>\n
The stench from your mouth when you speak is disgraceful for a governor.\u201d<\/p>\n
