There was drama on Thursday during the inauguration of Charles Soludo as Anambra State governor when Ebelechukwu, wife of ex-Governor Willie Obiano, and Bianca Ojukwu engaged in a clash.

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.

The incident, however, did not stop the inauguration ceremony and new Governor Soludo went on with his inaugural address during which he promised to commence work immediately assuring citizens of the state of good governance.

He also thanked stakeholders, his supporters, Federal Government agencies like the police, and the people of Anambra State for their roles in his election last November.

According to reports, Mrs Obiano was said to have prepared for the fight and had headed to where Mrs Ojukwu sat at the front row.

Apart from that, Mrs Obiano was reportedly said to had rained abuses at Mrs Ojukwu prompting the slaps and reaction, while Mrs Obiano pulled Ojukwu’s hair before intervention of the security personnel

However, shortly after the celebration, Bianca wrote on her Facebook page. “It’s Liberation Day, and today we sing the Redemption Song. Anambra will be better!”

“Now I know just how those Israelites felt on the day they took those tentative first steps out of the land of Egypt….Just the sheer excitement and anticipation of liberation, the long-awaited return to the promised land must have kept them awake through that night.

“This is the Day the Lord has made…a day that reaffirms the age-long truth that no-one holds the stage forever. I thank the Almighty for keeping us all alive to witness this day.

She added that a more dynamic and progressive Anambra is achievable.

“To Him be the glory. It was long in coming, but it’s finally here.

“Yes indeed….WE ARE THE BARRACKS!” she added.
