APGA Slap: Obiano’s Wife was Drunk – Bianca Ojukwu opens up

From Ogundele Olanrewaju

Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu has finally issued a statement on her scuffle with Ebelechukwu Obiano, the wife of former Anambra state governor, Willie Obiano.

It can be recalled that on Thursday, Mrs. Obiano received a terrible slap from Bianca after the latter accosted her. In a statement on Friday, Mrs. Ojukwu revealed that she was seated at the ceremony minding her business when Mrs. Obiano approached her.

“As the inaugural ceremonies for Prof Charles Soludo and his deputy began and all guests were seated, the Former First Lady of Anambra State, Mrs Ebele Obiano, was noticeably absent. She then arrived some one-and-a-half hours later while the ceremony was on. I didn’t pay any particular attention to her arrival.

“Surprisingly, she then walked towards me and I thought she was coming to greet me. Instead, when she got to where I was seated, she verbally attacked me with her voice raised, taunting me and asking me what I was there to do and using unprintable vile language.”

“She asked if I had come to celebrate their last day in office. But I ignored her completely. Then, she kept aggressively putting her hands on my shoulders and shouting. While I ignored her verbal onslaught, as advised by those sitting around me, I requested twice that she refrained from touching me with her hands.”

“She proceeded to do so yet again and went further to grab at my headtie, which she attempted unsuccessfully to remove. This very act is considered a sacrilege to a titled matriarch such as myself in Igbo culture.”
