Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) spokesperson Theo Abu Agada says the family of Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo does not mean well for the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi. Agada’s remarks follow a public denial linked to a viral claim about Obi being a godfather at the baptism of one of Soludo’s sons.
The dispute centers on a video in which Obi, a former governor of Anambra, says he is the godfather of one of Soludo’s sons. Soludo’s wife, Nonye Soludo, denies the claim, stating through a media assistant, Dan Ezeigwe, that Obi’s statement is false and that her statement is meant to correct the record amid the video’s circulation. Agada then responds on X, suggesting Obi should take the claim seriously and implying the Soludo family is hostile toward him.
Across the two outlets, both report the same allegation by the NDC and the same sequence of events: Obi’s viral baptism godfather claim, Nonye Soludo’s denial, and Agada’s reaction online.
