  "account": "The wife of Anambra State's Governor, Nonye Soludo, has refuted allegations that her husband's political opponent, Peter Obi, served as a godfather to one of their children during a baptism. The First Lady's Media Assistant, Dan Ezeigwe, issued a statement to correct the record, following a viral video where Obi claimed to be the godfather of a Soludo child. Mrs Soludo emphasized that the public, media, and all concerned should heed this clarification and disregard any misconceptions created by the video. She clarified that Obi may have misstated the fact but urged the public not to misrepresent their family's cordial relationship. The statement stated that there is no truth to the claim that Obi is a godfather to any of the Soludos' children. The godparent relationships between the two families are as follows: Nonye Soludo is the confirmation godmother to Peter Obi's daughter, Margaret Obi, and Mrs. Obi is the baptismal godmother to one of Soludo's daughters. Neither Peter Obi nor Soludo has acted as a godparent to the other's children.",
