There was drama on Thursday at the inauguration of Prof Chukwuma Soludo as governor of Anambra when the wife of outgoing Governor Willie Obiano, Ebelechukwu, slapped Bianca, widow of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the Ikemba Nnewi, at the event.

A NAN correspondent who was at the scene reports that the incident occurred immediately after Soludo took his oath of office.

Dignitaries including Obiano were already seated when Mrs Obiano stepped in and moved to the front row where the Ojukwu’s widow 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 afterward, her husband left the venue since the incident happened after the new governor had been sworn in.
