Late Chief Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu’s wife Bianca and wife of outgoing governor Mrs Eberechukwu Obiano have engaged each other in physical fight during the swearing in of Chukwuma Soludo as Anambra state governor.
Eye witness said Mrs Obiano set the stage for the fight when on her arrival to Government House, Awka just as Soludo was taking oath of office, walked straight to where Ambassor Bianca Ojukwu was seated close to Prof. Soludo’s wife, Mrs Nonye Soludo and confronted her with abuses “You’re a bitch, you’re a bitch, I think you said, ‘we won’t be governor?”
In retaliation, Mrs Ojukwu gave her a slap, and, Mrs Obiano went straight to her head gear, and, started dragging it, before security operatives and dignitaries rushed and separated them.
While the commotion was going on, Obiano was seated looking straight at the podium where Professor Soludo was signing oath of office as Governor being guided by the state Chief Judge, Justice Anyachebelu.
Immediately Soludo walked down from the podium, Obiano moved straight, embraced and congratulated him, and, was driven away with his wife even before Soludo inspected guard of honour mounted for him by the men of the state police command.
Obiano did not make any speech.
In his opening address, Governor Soludo who pledge he would not disappoint people of state, but, would do the state proud said ‘Anambra is a peaceful state”.
