Governor Willie Obiano ended his tenure on a bad note on Thursday at the inauguration of Professor Chukwuma Soludo as the Governor of Anambra when his wife, Ebelechukwu, slapped Biance, wife of the respected late Biafran leader, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu.
Odumegwu-Ojukwu was the spiritual leader of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), the party under which Obiano won his elections.
The slapping incident occurred immediately after Soludo took his oath of office.
Dignitaries were already seated when the former Governor Obiano’s wife, who is widely known for being temperamental and uncouth 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.
