Former Anambra State first lady Ebele Obiano has spoken out following her public fisticuffs with Bianca Ojukwu at the inauguration of the state governor Chukwuma Soludo on Friday.
Mrs Obiano who was slapped by the widow of former Biafran warlord Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu said she had left her seat to greet Bianca but the latter reacted to her greeting by slapping her.
According to a statement released by Mrs Obiano’s spokesperson, Chidiebele Obika, the wife of the former Governor of Anambra State said all she did was approach the former beauty queen for their usual friendly banters only to be slapped and pushed by her.
She wondered what brought about “so much anger and hate” that would cause a former diplomat to be unable to “manage herself in public”.
Mrs Obiano whose husband is still with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after his arrest in Lagos stated that she didn’t bother returning the slap, instead she walked away in utter bewilderment.
Footages of the incident however showed the former first lady calling Mrs Ojukwu “Asewo” (Yoruba word for prostitute) as guests tried to separate them.
Politicos had reported that Bianca blamed intoxication and rudeness on the part of Mrs Obiano for giving her a “dirty” slap.
