The Wife of the outgone Governor of Anambra State,Ebellechukwu Obiana on Thursday at the inauguration of Charles Soludo as the governor of Anambra State slapped Bianca Ojukwu at the event.
Mrs Ojukwu is the widow of the late Biafran leader, Odumegwu Ojukwu.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondent who was at the scene of the event reported that the incident occurred immediately after Mr Soludo took his oath of office.
In a video obtained by our correspondent shows that dignitaries, including Mr Obiano, were already seated when Mrs Obiano stepped in and moved to the front row where the widow of Mr 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 Mrs Ojukwu 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.
Mr Soludo, alongside the Deputy Governor, Onyeka Ibezim, took their oath of office in a low-key ceremony.
The new governor, in his inaugural speech, vowed to change the economic fortunes of the state.
It would be recalled that the new Governor,Charles Soludo wanted a lowkeyed celebration and only about 50 people were invited for the event, amongst them were the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Victor Oye and wife; Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Uchenna Okafor and wife.
