By our reporter| Newly sworn-in governor of Anambra state, Chukwuma Soludo has explained the behind the scene reasons why the former first lady of the state, Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano clashed with Bianca Ojukwu, the wife of the late Biafra warlord, Emeka Ojukwu.
The clash occurred on Thursday during the inauguration of Charles Soludo as Anambra State governor.
The altercation reportedly occurred when Mrs. Obiano went over to where Mrs. Ojukuwu was sitting. It is not clear the exchanges between both women before the situation degenerated.
While some reports said Mrs. Obiano started the clash by slapping Mrs. Ojukwu, some other reports indicate that it was Mrs. Ojukwu, angered by what was said to her that slapped Mrs. Obiano first.
Security personnel at the venue quickly intervened and pulled both women apart from each other.
In a statement signed by his spokesperson, Joe Anatune, Soludo explained that the altercation was “caused by improper communication which itself arose from a personal issue between the two parties involved in the breach.”
The statement added that “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,” the statement read in part.
