Drama ensued on Thursday at the inauguration of Prof Chukwuma Soludo as the governor of Anambra when wife of outgoing Gov. Willie Obiano, Ebelechukwu, slapped Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu at the event.
Nationaldailyng.com gathered that the incident occurred immediately after Soludo took his oath of office.
It was learnt that dignitaries including Ex Gov Obiano were already seated when Mrs Obiano 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.
Soludo, who emerged governor of the state during the November 6, 2021 gubernatorial poll, took over from the immediate past governor, Chief Willie Obiano, in a ‘low keyed’ swearing in ceremony held at government house, Awka.
