The senator representing Anambra north in the Nigerian senate, Princess Stella Oduah has called out the wife of the immediate past governor of Anambra state, Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano for bringing fracas to the handover ceremony of her husband yesterday (Thursday).
The senator took to her facebook handle to lambaste the former governor’s wife. She asked why the former first lady didn’t use the same energy she exhibited in the fracas at the inauguration of the new governor to seek for justice in the case of the woman that was humiliated and dragged about naked in her home town Isuofia for an alleged crime that has not been proven, rather she came to a state affair to cause confusion. She referred to the former first lady’s action as ” shameful conduct, unbecoming and indecorous”.
Her words, “My attention has been drawn to the shameful conduct of the wife of the ex-governor and former first lady of Anambra State, Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano, who threw decorum away and attacked Her Excellency, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu at today’s inauguration ceremony and I hereby condemn in very strong terms, this unwarranted attack against the wife of an illustrious son and our very our own Ikemba.
I wish to add that the act exhibited by the former first lady was indecorous and unbecoming of a woman who had acted as a mother of the state and even desirous of serving in other capacities.
More condemnable is even the gutter and vulgar language used by Mrs Obiano to describe her fellow woman, who is even a widow. I have always held the view that it is only weak minds that label hardworking women like Bianca with nasty names such as “ashawo” and it is more unfortunate when a woman, especially one that has been around the corridors of power, is the one hurling such baseless and regretful invectives against a fellow woman.
What the world witnessed today at the swearing in ceremony is utterly disgraceful, unfortunate, crude and should never be emulated by the millions of our young girls and women who often look up to public figures with respect to how they conduct themselves.
Only a few days ago, an innocent woman was publicly paraded naked in the same community our former first lady hails from and one would have thought that rather than showcase this brute nature of fighting and engaging in public fisticuffs with her guest, she should have exerted same energy and fighting spirit in ensuring that Justice is done for that widow.
It saddens me a great deal to see the wife of an illustrious Anambra son, the pride of Ndigbo and an achiever that was once an ambassador of the Federal Republic, being attacked unprovoked and I join all right thinking persons in praying that we never ever record this type of travesty again in our history as a state.”
Recall that at the inauguration ceremony, the former first lady Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano went to where Her Excellency Lady Bianca Ojukwu, a former ambassador of Nigeria to Spain and the wife of late Ikemba Ojukwu was sitting and said something to her which resulted to the slap.
According to WITHIN NIGERIA, a popular news outlet, the trouble started when the outgoing first lady who came late to the event and on siting Bianca, went to where she (Bianca) was sitting at the front row with the other dignitaries and said to her “What are you doing here, you said we (APGA) will never win the governorship and here you are, you are a witch”. The former ambassador couldn’t take the jive and thus slapped the outgoing governor’s wife and this let to exchange of words which saw the wife of the former governor calling Bianca and “Ashawo”. The brawl could have degenerated to a full blown fist fight between the two if not for the prompt intervention of the security men and dignitaries nearby.
