Shock as Ex Gov Obiano’s wife, Ebelechukwu, slaps Bianca Ojukwu at Soludo’s inauguration

There was high drama on Thursday at the inauguration of Prof Chukwuma Soludo as the governor of Anambra when the wife of outgoing Gov. Willie Obiano, Ebelechukwu, slapped the wife of the revered late Ojukwu, Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu at the event.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the incident occurred immediately after Soludo took his oath of office. According to NAN, dignitaries including Ex-Gov Obiano were already seated when Mrs. Obiano stepped in and moved to the front row where the widow of Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu was seated and slapped her.

The action drew the attention of security agents and some personalities who pulled Mrs. Obiano off the hold of Bianca who was visibly shocked at the action.
Mrs. Obiano was later taken away and shortly afterward, her husband left the venue since the incident happened after the new governor had been sworn in.

It is still unclear what led Mrs. Obiano to approach Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu to land a slap on her face.
