Bianca Ojukwu and Anambra’s Ex-First Lady Go Physical at Governor Soludo’s Inaugaration

The immediate past First Lady of Anambra State Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano engaged in a fight with former beauty queen and wife of Biafra warlord Emeka Ojukwu, Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, at the venue and tarnished the occasion of new governor Charles Soludo’s inauguration with their filthy fisticuffs.

The former first lady, who seemed to have come set for a fight had approached Mrs Ojukwu at the front row of the event, allegedly warning her about coming to an APGA function, after she had attacked the party during the November election.

Mrs Obiano hurled insults at Mrs Ojukwu, and touched her, a situation the latter warned repeatedly against, causing Mrs. Ojukwu to slap her on the cheeks, while the former first lady attempted to fight back, before security operatives separated them.

Earlier, THISDAY witnessed the arrival of Mrs Obiano as she was stopped at the gate, when her convoy attempted to use the main gate.
She had come late for the event, while her husband had arrived much earlier, and had already inspected the guard of honour, and the swearing-in ritual for the new governor was ongoing.
A barricade at the expressway leading into the Government House was locked with keys, while Mrs Obiano was advised by security men to drive down to a far away junction and turn into a smaller gate that led to the Government House.

But Mrs Obiano refused and later trekked from the express to the main gate, where she also caused a stir, before the gate was opened for her, while she trekked into the Government House, where the function held, abandoning her convoy.

Mrs Obiano and her husband however left the ceremony immediately after Soludo was sworn in.

The former CBN governor, in a statement by his media aide, Mr Joe Anatune, said the fight was caused by a breach of protocol.

The statement stated: “Prof. Soludo hereby apologises to all Anambra people, friends and guests, who attended his inauguration this morning as the Anambra State governor for the breach of protocol.

“The breach was caused by improper communication, which itself arose from a personal issue between the two parties involved in the breach. Steps are being taken to resolve the misunderstanding and restore the parties to their previous relationship.

“Anambra State has over the years been known for a huge stock of social harmony, and the stock will increase substantially in the years ahead as part of the concerted effort to accelerate the state’s development.”
