One of the latest public controversies involving her relates to her altercation with Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu at the inauguration ceremony of the state\u2019s new governor, Chukwuma Soludo.<\/p>\n<p>Bianca, who is the widow of the late Biafran leader, Odumegwu Ojukwu, claimed she slapped Mrs. Obiano because the former first lady attacked her and used \u201cunprintable vile language\u201d on her.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement published in the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arise.tv\/sacriledge-to-a-titled-matriarch-bianca-ojukwu-reacts-to-altercation-with-ex-gov-obianos-wife\/\"> media<\/a>, Mrs Ojukwu said that when Mrs. Ebelechukwu approached her, she initially thought she was coming to greet her, but to her surprise, the former Anambra state First lady verbally attacked her with her voice raised even as she aggressively put her hands on her shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>In self-defense, she slapped Ebelechukwu and it resulted in a public altercation. It apparently took the intervention of the former national chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Victor Umeh, for Mrs. Obiano to return to her seat. Obiano who was literally dumbfounded left the inauguration venue almost immediately, taking his wife along with him.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ebele, who described the scenario as disgusting, said she was shocked by the attitude of Amb. Bianca Ojukwu and that she didn\u2019t bother to slap her back, but rather walked away in utter bewilderment\u201d. Although the fisticuffs between the two celebrated women caused a lot of buzz on various media outlets, it did not deter Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano from focusing on her political ambition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano is a Nigerian politician, former first lady of Anambra state, and the wife of Willie Obiano, the former governor of Anambra State.
