The deputy governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, for the November 8 Anambra election, Senator Uche Ekwunife, has disowned the statement circulating in her name, in which she surprisingly attacked the wife of the state governor, Dr. Nonye Soludo.

In a statement signed by her media adviser, Tony Ezike, Ekwunife categorically denied that the publication emanated from her and apologized for the unnecessary embarrassment.

Ezeke's statement read: "The attention of Senator Uche Ekwunife, the Anambra All Progressives Congress (APC) Deputy Governorship Candidate, has been drawn to an article falsely attributed to her camp against Mrs. Nonye Soludo, the wife of the Anambra State Governor.

Sen. Uche Ekwunife categorically states that although she has been maligned and disparaged by the Governor's media team, the said publication did not emanate from her or her camp.

She further wishes to apologize to the Governor, his wife, and the general public who may have been affected by the altercations of the past few days.

Sen. Ekwunife calls on her supporters to remain focused and avoid any media writing that may suggest altercation with the First Family or any other person as she continues with her campaigns".
