He firmly rejected the story, branding it as entirely false and designed to mislead.
In a statement issued on the 4th of June, 2025, in Awka by his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, Soludo said the video behind the rumour had been twisted out of context.
He pointed fingers at those he called mischief-makers.
“The attention of Anambra State Government has been drawn to a malicious and deliberately fabricated online publication and social media comments making spurious claims that Governor Soludo consulted a native doctor regarding his reelection prospects,” the statement read.
