Yesterday, during the Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo’s routine Saturday morning workout at the Awka City Stadium, Anambra Governor’s wife, Mrs Nonye Soludo did something that got everyone stunned. No, not everyone. Just those who are new to the encounter. Nonye Soludo’s approach to life will always definitely leave you with something that will have an exceptional impact on your worldviews. Ndi Anambra are super lucky!
While it was time for a particular workout pattern which required everyone to lay on the synthetic stadium turf, a sofa mat was quickly brought to the governor’s wife to use, obviously out of formal respect for her position. On sighting her Personal Assistant rushing down with the blue mat, she immediately asked: “Why would I be the only one using a mat when everyone else is using nothing? Please, take it back, I don’t need it.” Next, she went down to the floor and stepped on the challenge with her usual finesse. That is quintessential Nonye Soludo; the governor’s wife who sees life from a meek and simple perspective.
It will hardly take you a composition of trials and calculations to understand that Anambra governor’s wife, Mrs Nonye Soludo, is a simple soul. Those who have had that usual unhindered access to the Isuofia Beauty Queen will tell you a true story of a woman whose life reflects the highest form of simplicity and naturality. The Anambra governor’s wife is just like that: calm, witty, friendly, lowly, compassionate, selfless, and courageous. Governor Soludo’s wife is arguably the only first lady in the history of Anambra State with a complete set of characters and matchless brilliance that redefine the position.
Her “ordinariness” is a cumulation of fine virtues. Something akin to the life’s story of a saint who sees each life’s journey as another opportunity to make an indelible difference. For this amazing woman, impact weighs more than socio-political class. It is about the lessons that drive human actions and credibility. Nonye Soludo understands that perfectly. Here is a governor’s wife whose ordinariness captures significant moments.
