Drama ensued today March 17 2022 at the inauguration of Prof Chukwuma Soludo as the Governor of Anambra when the wife of the immediate past Gov Willie Obiano, Ebelechukwu, allegedly slapped Mrs Bianca Ojukwu at the event.
The incident was said to have occurred immediately after Soludo took his oath of office.
Dignitaries including Obiano were already seated when Mrs Obiano allegedly stepped in and moved to the front row where the widow of Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu was seated and slapped her.
The action drew the attention of security agents and some personalities who pulled Mrs Obiano off the hold of Bianca who was visibly shocked at the action.
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.
Professor Charles Soludo was sworn in by the state Chief Judge, Justice Onochie Anyachebelu, at exactly 9:45 am, at the Anambra State Government House.
