Ex Gov Obiano’s wife, Ebelechukwu, slaps Bianca Ojukwu at Soludo’s inauguration
Wife of former Gov. Willie Obiano, Ebelechukwu and Bianca Ojukwu

Drama ensued on Thursday at the inauguration of Prof Chukwuma Soludo as the governor of Anambra when wife of outgoing Gov. Willie Obiano, Ebelechukwu got slapped by Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, at the event.

Bianca, wife of late Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu who was the founder of the ruling party in the state, APGA, responded physically after she was confronted by the wife to the immediate past governor immediately after Soludo took his oath of office.

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 confronted her.

Mrs Obiano was later taken away and shortly afterwards, her husband left the venue since the incident happened after the new governor had been sworn in. 

The feud between Bianca and the Obiano's had lingered for years, culminating in Bianca refusing to participate in the campaign flag off rally for Prof. Charles Soludo citing poor treatment of her husband's memory by the Obiano's after assuming office. She claimed the past governor had once described her late husband as "a dead man that was of no more use to the party". The party had also removed all images of late Ojukwu from their attire and only re-introduced it when the campaign for the governorship election was to commence.
