Soludo apologises for Obiano’s wife/Bianca clash at his inauguration

Newly sworn-in Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has apologised to Anambra people and their friends and guests who attended his inauguration this morning for the breach of protocol between Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano and Mrs Bianca Ojukwu.

Head of Soludo media office, Mr Joe Anatune, said, “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.
“God bless Anambra State, the Light of the Nation.”

Meanwhile, contrary to initial media reports that it was Mrs Obiano, wife of the immediate past governor of the state Chief Willie Obiano, who slapped Mrs Ojukwu, it was learnt that it was Mrs Ojukwu that slapped Obiano’s wife.
The fight was said to have started when Mrs Obiano who came late to the occasion was going round to greet dignitaries.
On getting to where Mrs Ojukwu was already seated, she inquired from her why she was attending the event even though she had vowed not to attend any event organised by the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the state.
“Bianca so you are here, I thought you said you will never attend any APGA event again?” she asked Mrs. Ojukwu.
Mrs Ojukwu who was said to be provoked by the remark stood up slapped her and dragged her wig off her head.
This reportedly disrupted the oath of office taking event by Prof Charles Soludo who was signing some documents.
