Bianca Ojukwu, the wife of late warlord Odumegwu Ojukwu, has explained why she slapped Ebele Obiano the wife of Anambra ex-Governor at the inauguration ceremony of Prof. Charles Soludo.
Bianca disclosed this in an interview with Arise TV on Friday noting that Ebele Obiano was noticeably absent as the inauguration ceremony started but arrived an hour later.
In her words: “I did not pay any attention to her arrival. Surprisingly, she walked towards me and I thought she was coming to greet me. Instead she verbally attacked me with her voice raised, taunting me and asking me what I was there to do, using unprintable, vile language.”
According to Bianca, Obiano’s wife asked if she was at the inauguration to celebrate their last day in office.
“I left her but she kept on aggressively putting her hand on my shoulders and shouting.
“While I ignored her verbal onslaught as advised by people sitting around me, I requested twice that she refrains from touching me with her hands. She proceeded to do so yet again and tried to touch my head and remove my headtie.
“It was at that point I stood up to defend myself and gave her a dirty slap to stop her from attacking me. As she made it towards me, I removed her wig, she then held on to her wig with her two hands and tried to take the wig away from me.
Bianca Ojukwu also revealed that while people around tried to separate them, she was surprised by the stench of whisky in Ebelechukwu’s breath at such an early hour of the day.
“How could the first lady be so drunk at that time? I stayed back to watch the ceremony till the end and left with my dignity intact,” Bianca said.
Meanwhile the economic and Financial Crime Commission EFCC have arrested the immediate past Governor of Anambra State over the mismanagement of public funds while in office.
In a statement released by the agency spokesperson, the ex- Governor is still in their custody and have not been released as been speculated on social media.
