I can't go for paternity test with a housewife with no impact, Ekwunife bombs Nonye

The Deputy Governorship Candidate of All Progressive Congress (APC), Senator Uche Ekwunife, on Saturday, rejected the call for paternity test with Nonye Soludo, the wife of Anambra State governor, whom she described as a housewife.

Nonye, who claimed to have married her husband as a virgin, had in a lengthy open challenge urged Ekwunife to retract supposedly malicious publications against her and also engage her in a paternity test abroad probably to prove their faithfulness to their husbands. 

But in a swift response to the viral post from Soludo's wife, Ekwunife adviced Nonye to strive "harder to achieve one quarter of what I have achieved as a woman whose husband has never held any position but through God's grace and perseverance from various agents of destruction and those who vilify others just like Mrs. Soludo and her husband, I have continued to soldier on in my quest to touch lives positively."

According to her, "I don't have further reaction to give to Mrs. Soludo who has been a house wife and who claims to own companies both in Nigeria and abroad. There is no clear evidence of how Mrs Soludo has impacted anyone's life before her husband rose to various positions he's holding till date."

"Without sounding proud, I want to advice Mrs. Soludo to strive harder to achieve one quarter of what I have achieved as a woman whose husband has never held any position but through God's grace and perseverance from various agents of destruction and those who vilify others just like Mrs. Soludo and her husband, I have continued to soldier on in my quest to touch lives positively. Finally, our resolve to save Anambra State from misrule and embarrassment is total and our will is undaunted," she stated.

On paternity test brouhaha, Ekwunife urged Nonye to "leave me out of her paternity crisis because challenging me to a DNA test doesn't add up as she has only one person to prove her innocence and virginity to and that is her husband. If Soludo demands a DNA on his children, let Nonye go ahead with her full chest and do it to prove her innocence and if it warrants oath taking, she should also go ahead and do it. Why dragging me into her personal and family affairs?"

She explained that Nonye " doesn't owe me all those explanations. She owes her husband those explanations and other actions that could exonerate her and prove her innocence over paternity of her children. Not me!

"It is therefore my stand that Mrs. Soludo owes me no explanation over her children paternity as I am not her husband. She owes every explanations to Prof Chukwuma Soludo. Since they said only women know the father of their children. If my statement stoked out some biles in Mrs. Soludo and triggered any guilt in her conscience, she owes only her husband explanation but if it demands her taking an oath to show her innocence, she is free to do that. But Nonye Soludo should also know that 'Ceassar's wife should live above suspicion' "

Ekwunife also urged Nonye "Without dwelling on trivial issues that are mere diversionary to my earlier friendly advise to Mrs. Nonye Soludo to take care of the hygiene of her husband, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, it has become imperative for me to further evaluate the contents of Mrs. Soludo's statement as a response to my advice."
