Soludo Affirms Family Ties with Peter Obi Amid Dispute

Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo publicly confirmed the personal ties between his family and that of former governor Peter Obi during an interview with BBC News Igbo on November 2. Soludo disclosed that Obi's wife is the godmother of one of his children, while his wife, Nonye, serves as the confirmation godmother of Obi's daughter.

This revelation comes in light of a political disagreement between the two men that surfaced in September. Soludo described Obi as a close friend and clarified that their political differences, particularly regarding governance, have not affected their personal relationship.

He emphasized that he does not hold Obi's political stance against him, framing their disagreement as a typical difference among friends. Soludo's comments aim to dispel speculation about the impact of their political rivalry on their personal lives.

Additionally, Soludo has shown support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, and is leading Tinubu's campaign in Anambra.
