Anambra Government Disputes Peter Obi's Godparent Claim
The Anambra State Government has countered claims made by former governor Peter Obi, who stated that he and his wife are godparents to the children of the current governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo. Obi made this assertion during the Nigerian Guild of Editors’ 22nd Conference in Enugu, emphasizing that despite political differences, he shares a close relationship with Soludo.
Following the viral circulation of Obi's comments, Daniel Ezeigwe, media aide to Anambra State First Lady Dr. Nonye Soludo, issued a statement clarifying that Obi is not a godfather to any of Soludo's children. The statement detailed that Dr. Nonye Soludo is the confirmation godmother to Obi's daughter, while Mrs. Margaret Obi is the baptismal godmother to one of Soludo's daughters.
The government urged the public to recognize that neither Obi nor Soludo has served as godparents to each other's children, suggesting that Obi may have misspoken.
