The wife of the late Odumegwu Ojukwu, Bianca Ojukwu, has explained why she slapped the wife of the former Governor of Anambra State, Ebele Obiano at the inauguration ceremony of Prof. Charles Soludo, adding that the former first lady was reeking of whisky.
In an interview with the Arise TV on Friday, Bianca disclosed that Ebele Obiano who came late into the inauguration walked straight to her sit and started raining abuses on her.
According to Bianca, she was shocked by the stench of whisky in Ebelechukwu’s breath at such an early hour of the day.
She wondered how a first lady could be so drunk at that time of the day.
“I did not pay any attention to her arrival. Surprisingly, she walked towards me and I thought she was coming to greet me. Instead she verbally attacked me with her voice raised, taunting me and asking me what I was there to do, using unprintable, vile language.”
She added that Obiano’s wife also asked, if she was at the inauguration to celebrate their last day in office.
“I left her but she kept on aggressively putting her hand on my shoulders and shouting.
“While I ignored her verbal onslaught as advised by people sitting around me, I requested twice that she refrains from touching me with her hands. She proceeded to do so yet again and tried to touch my head and remove my head tie.
“It was at that point I stood up to defend myself and gave her a dirty slap to stop her from attacking me. As she made it towards me, I removed her wig, she then held on to her wig with her two hands and tried to take the wig away from me.
“How could the first lady be so drunk at that time? I stayed back to watch the ceremony till the end and left with my dignity intact,” Bianca said.
