In a recent development, the Anambra South Senatorial candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Chief Ebuka Onunkwo, has decided against engaging in a verbal spat with Governor Chukwuma Soludo. The governor had previously described Onunkwo as an illiterate factory owner, a comment that the NDC candidate has chosen not to respond to.
According to reports by Vanguard News () and Daily Post Nigeria (), Onunkwo expressed that it would not be wise for him to engage Soludo in a war of words. Instead, he chose to focus on his campaign platform and the issues important to the people of Anambra South.
This decision comes as no surprise given the age difference between the two politicians. Soludo is older than Onunkwo and currently serving as the governor of Anambra State. Onunkwo’s refusal to engage in a public spat may be seen as a strategic move aimed at maintaining a level of professionalism and respect during this election season.
Editorial notes: The sources for this story are both reputable Nigerian news outlets, but it is worth noting that they do not provide any additional context about the political relationship between Soludo and Onunkwo or their respective campaigns. This information could help readers better understand the reasons behind the governor’s comments and the NDC candidate’s response.
