Mrs Obiano a serial slapper, why she attacked Bianca Ojukwu – Source
Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano, wife of immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, has been described as a serial slapper and cantankerous woman.
RELIABLESOURCENG.COM reports that Mrs Obiano threw decorum to the wind when she assaulted Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, wife of the revered Ikemba Nnewi, Chief Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, at the Thursday swearing in ceremony of Professor Chukwuma Soludo as new governor of Anambra State.
Mrs Obiano, from video footage of the incident, stood up from where she sat with her husband, walked across to where Mrs Ojukwu, a former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain sat, and after what seemed a short altercation, commotion ensued.
She reportedly slapped Bianca, to the astonishment of dignitaries present at the low-keyed event.
It took the intervention of security personnel and some of the dignitaries at the event to restore order, as the programme continued thereafter.
Governor Soludo had since apologised over the breach of protocol, blaming it on “improper communication which itself arose from a personal issue between the two parties involved in the breach”.
The source, who spoke to RELIABLESOURCENG.COM, disclosed that there had been a long-standing issue between Bianca and Mrs Obiano.
According to our source, the long-drawn misunderstanding between the two women had its roots in the denial of Anambra South Senatorial ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to Bianca.
“Bianca believes that Mrs Obiano prevailed on her husband to deny her the ticket.
“Since then, there has been a simmering problem between the two.
“Bianca has been attacking the couple on her Facebook page. Even this (Thursday) morning, she wrote something full of innuendo,” revealed our source, who is very close to both former Gov Obiano and Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu.
What Bianca wrote on her Facebook page
17 MARCH 2022.
I used to wonder…But Now I Know.
Now I know just how those Israelites felt on the day they took those tentative first steps out of the Land of Egypt….Just the sheer excitement and anticipation of liberation, the long awaited return to the promised land must have kept them awake through that night.
This is the Day the Lord has made…a day that reaffirms the age long truth that no-one holds the stage forever. I thank the Almighty for keeping us all alive to witness this day.
To Him be the glory
It was long in coming, but it’s finally here…
A more dynamic and progressive Anambra is achievable
Yes indeed…WE ARE THE BARRACKS!
Ebelechukwu Obiano, a serial slapper?
Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano is reputed a serial slapper. “Of course, the slapping business didn’t start today,” our source quipped.
She reportedly slapped Mrs Rosemary Okeke, wife of the former Deputy Governor, Dr Nkem Okeke, in 2014, at a fence-mending meeting brokered by Mrs Beatrice Ekwueme, wife of late former Vice President, Dr Alex Ekwueme.
In the altercation that ensued during the peace parley, Mrs Okeke had allegedly told Mrs Obiano that she could not slap her “the way she usually slapped her drivers”.
There was also the drama that reportedly happened in Poland, where then First Lady, Patience Jonathan, had gone on a visit, in company of entourage that included Mrs Obiano, House of Reps member, Hon Uche Ekwunife and a host of other friends.
According to our source, it took the intervention of Mrs Jonathan to save Ekwunife from being physically attacked by the Anambra former First Lady.
