Ebele Obiano Bows To Pressure, Tenders Apology For Attacking Bianca Ojukwu

Ebele Obiano, the former First Lady of Anambra State, has tendered an unreserved apology following the incident between her and Bianca Ojukwu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, during the swearing-in of Governor Charles Soludo.

Naija News earlier reported that Ebele and Bianca engaged in a physical altercation during Soludo’s swearing in last week.

According to viral videos on social media, Bianca slapped Ebele, who had allegedly attacked her while the swearing ceremony was ongoing.

In a statement on Thursday, Ebele stated that there was no justification for the public embarrassment that happened on the day.

“Those who know me can testify that before and throughout my eight years as the First Lady of State, I pursued peace, promoted philanthropic gestures which empowered many of our less privileged people. No excuse can therefore be tenable as justification for such public embarrassment, no matter the height of provocation.

“Equally, I wish to extend the same apology to all the important dignitaries, the people of Anambra State, as well as the entire Ndigbo for that unintended embarrassment at the occasion,” she was quoted by Punch as saying.
