Drama broke out during the inauguration of Chukwuma Soludo as the new Governor of Anambra state, Thursday, as there was an altercation between Ebelechukwu, wife of Willie Obiano, immediate past governor of the state, and Bianca Ojukwu.

Bianca is the wife of the late Igbo leader and former Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.

While details about the altercation remains sketchy as of press time, it was gathered that Ebelechukwu walked to where Bianca was seated, leading to heated arguments as both women engaged in a fisticuff.

The unfortunate incident drew the attention of security agents and some personalities who immediately intervened to separate the two women.

Reacting in a statement, Soludo explained that the fight was a mere miscommunication which was caused by personal issue between the two women.

The statement which was issued by Soludo’s media aide, Joe Anatune, said efforts are ongoing to resolve the misunderstanding between the two women and restore their relationship.

The statement reads, “Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo hereby apologizes to all Anambra people, friends and guests who attended his inauguration this morning as the Anambra State governor for the breach of protocol.

“The breach was caused by improper communication which itself arose from a personal issue between the two parties involved in the breach.

“Steps are being taken to resolve the misunderstanding and restore the parties to their previous relationship.

“Anambra State has over the years been known for a huge stock of social harmony, and the stock will increase substantially in the years ahead as part of the concerted effort to accelerate the state’s development. God bless Anambra State, the Light of the Nation.”
