Senator Ekwunife To Gov. Soludo: You Have Body Odour, Tell Your Wife To Take Care Of Your Hygiene
AWKA – The Anambra State APC Deputy Governorship Candidate, Senator Uche Lilian Ekwunife (Iyom), PhD, CON, has taken a swipe at Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, calling his leadership style petty, insensitive, and a failure to address the needs of Ndi Anambra.
Her comments came after Soludo allegedly questioned her academic qualifications and dismissed the chances of a woman married into Anambra Central becoming governor.
In a trending video, Ekwunife accused Soludo of presiding over “bloodletting, hunger, and untold hardship” in the state.
She recalled that two sitting members of the Anambra State House of Assembly were killed during his tenure, yet “as Chief Security Officer of the state, the governor has failed to unravel the perpetrators or bring them to justice.”
On allegations that her PhD is fake, she dared Soludo: “If you doubt my certificates, take me to court. Stop using campaign rallies to malign me. My certificates from the University of Calabar and Nnamdi Azikiwe University are verifiable and open for scrutiny.”
Ekwunife also said Anambra’s social and economic life has collapsed under Soludo: “Weekends that used to be lively with events and visitors are now marked by fear, insecurity, and economic downturn.”
Responding to Soludo’s remarks that he would not hand over power to a woman married into another senatorial district, she fired back: “Governor Soludo’s own daughter is married outside her zone. Does that mean she should be denied rights in her husband’s community? No human being, including Soludo, can determine my destiny.”
Ekwunife went personal, alleging that the governor suffers from poor hygiene: “Soludo has bad mouth and body odour. He is the dirtiest governor in West Africa. I advise his wife to buy him deodorant and mouthwash as part of her healthy living campaign.”
She further to mock his academic record: “That professorship is an award, not something earned. He hides his failures with agbero-style theatrics while ignoring insecurity and the welfare of Ndi Anambra.”
Ekwunife urged Soludo to “channel his energy into addressing insecurity, financial stability, etc”
