Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo confirms that Peter Obi’s wife is the godmother of one of his children, after a public dispute over the families’ relationship. Soludo also says his wife, Nonye, is the confirmation godmother of Obi’s daughter, while other reports reference baptism/confirmation roles within the two families’ ties.
Outlets report Soludo’s effort to distinguish personal friendship from political differences with Obi. Nigerian Eye, Daily Post, and The Punch all frame Soludo as saying he and Obi remain on good terms despite disagreement over political and economic matters, including renewed claims about Obi’s record while in office.
The coverage generally centres on what role each woman plays in the godparent relationship and how Soludo describes the continuing relationship between the two families. Nigerian Eye additionally includes Soludo’s broader explanation that political disagreements have not affected their personal connection, and notes prior disagreements tied to Anambra governorship and the 2023 presidential contest.
