The Obi of Awka Ancient Kingdom, Awka Capital Territory, His Imperial Majesty, the Eze Uzu 111 of Awka , Obi Dr Austin Ndigwe (JP) MON has given the wife of the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Mrs. Eberechukwu Obiano, seven days to publicly apologise to the entire Igbo people or face serious consequences over her sacrilegious action against the symbol of Igbo unity, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu.

She should also tender an unreserved apology to the new Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, for her disgraceful conduct during his inauguration.

The same should go for the Chief Judge of the state who was conducting the swearing in when she descended so low like a mad dog.

Bianca told me after the incident that what angered her was that Ebere called her unprintable names including prostitute and queried her presence at the swearing in ceremony.

Unfortunately, this grave sin was committed in the land of Awka which is known for peace and unity. Therefore, as the traditional ruler of the people and chief custodian of our culture, I am under obligation to perform some sacrifices to cleanse our land of this filth and pollution and to appease the gods.

A study of the scenario as the incident occured showed that her action was deliberate because as it were, she came very much prepared to disrupt the swearing in ceremony. And It is troubling that she began her ignoble actions when the chief judge stood up to swear in the new governor as she came and sat on his seat, a clear show of shame and lack of respect.

Even when she was informed that the seat was for the chief judge , she refused to vacate the seat, only for her to stand up and move towards the direction of Bianca Ojukwu to start pouring venom on her.

It must be pointed out that Bianca was not at that ceremony as Bianca but there as a direct representative of our late father and leader, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu, her late husband who pioneered the All progressives Grand Alliance, APGA and the shining symbol of igbo unity and solidarity.

Ojukwu sacrificed all he had for the Igbos to survive, so wherever Bianca goes , she represents and carries the aspirations and personage of the entire Igbo race. Therefore, Ebere’s action of casting aspersion on her is an affront on the entire Igbo people. It was indeed on Odumegwu Ojukwu and not on Bianca as a person. This is an insult on Igbo and it must not go unpunished.

Ebere should realise that this same APGA on whose platform she and her husband have benefitted immensely throughout these eight years was floated when they were not even in the country and they never contributed to its formation.

It is on record that I took Obiano and his wife, Ebere, to Bianca Ojukwu where they knelt down while seeking the party’s governorship ticket. Bianca endorsed Obiano and called on all APGA members, including then Governor Peter Obi to support him.

It is the same Bianca that Ebere has now publicly insulted. This is a taboo against the tradition of the Awka people and the entire Igbo race who are known for respect and peaceful coexistence.

It should be noted that Mrs Obiano and the husband Willie Obiano who used the name and pictures of Ojukwu in their campaign T shirts to win election via the endorsement of his wife Bianca never met Ojukwu or discussed with him while he was alive.

The same ungrateful attitude was what Obiano and Ebere meted out to Prince Arthur Eze who financed the registration and establishment of APGA as a political party.

Throughout their eight year tenure, Obiano never showed respect to Prince Eze. This is an indication that Obiano and his wife are pathological ingrates.

This time they have gone too far. The Igbo are angry. Enough is enough, this is the last time that this kind of disgraceful and shameful act against Binaca Ojukwu would even be imagined or tolerated from anybody, no matter how highly placed.

Igbo and non Igbo from various parts of the country and beyond have been calling to express their shock and anger over the incident and as the custodian of our people’s tradition it is incumbent on me to uphold the customs of our land. Ojukwu’s personage as represented by Bianca can never be denigrated!

It is shameful that someone who has been first lady of a state can descend so low. Her conduct shows that she lacks proper training and it shows that she has no respect for constituted authority and even her husband, Former Governor Obiano.

Mrs Ebere Obiano has only seven days to apologise as demanded and directed or face serious consequences.

His Imperial Majesty

Chief (Dr) Austin Ndigwe

Eze Uzu of Awka Capital Territory.

For and on behalf of the entire people of Awka ancient Kingdom.

The fall from grace

Ooh no...so the lady who landed her a slap should be spared huh?
Do these people know that lady who slapped the other one can be sued for assault?

Apologising is still ok..but threatening her with some nonsense is not making no sense..they should settle the issue amicably without bias instead of being one sided..

It's really a tough time to be an obiano. Gbasgbos left, right and center.

What a biancaful moment!

This isn't fair to someone that was physically assaulted.

Ours is a society where hypocrisy reins, we condone and pamper wrongdoings as long as the person we like is the one doing it to someone we don't like.

Both parties have shared their own side of the story. Did u read Mrs Ojukwu's story? If u haven't, pls go back and read it.

Go and find out who left her seat to meet who, and who btw the two women was first to initiate a physical contact. Also, try and tell us the meaning of self defense bc it seems the rest of us no longer know the meaning.

See ehn, pple can exchange words but physical contact is another level entirely.

Since u claim Mrs Obiano can sue for assault, if her evidence is pure enough why is she delaying slamming a law suit on Mrs Ojukwu?

Her latest action is just one amongst too many. There was a story on nairaland that reported her assault on a lady who was accused of having an affair with her husband. Nigerians can recall that its not her first time of being involved in public altercations.

I want to believe many first Ladies faces issue of cheating spouse but they have been handling it away from the public.

Bianca should eat humble pie and apologize for slapping Mrs Obiano


looking at the Video it certainly looks like Mrs Obiano went to greet Bianca and was turning around to walk away when she was slapped

Why slap someone who was already turning to Walk away, at 16 secs of the Video Mrs Obiano was already turning around to go

Studying the body Language of the Video definitely backs up Mrs Obiano's Story

Those around at the time need to Testify to what actually happened to get at the Truth

Seconded.
Apga is our Shining Symbol of Unity it's really shameful to see Igbos run mad over foreign agendas dat doesn't have them in their plan
Enough of the apc and pdp madness already.
Imagine what Igboland can achieve if we all come under one political front with one Will and Mind to enforce self development in the region.
An all Apga govt in Igboland is a task that all and sundry in Igboland should carry with their full chest.
God bless Igboland
God bless Apga.

These people are very aggressive in nature

Given her brazen public display of ill-mannered behaviour, only God knows what Obiano has been going through in the hands of that woman all these years.

On second thought, I hear the former governor and his wife are both heavy drunkards.

Are you sure you know what you are saying, as far as she left her seat to approach Ikemba's wife she is considered the aggressor and whatever happens after that is taken as self defence.

And you saying they are threatening her with nonsense shows that you are one of this city people that thinks life starts and ends in the city but notwithstanding, Ebele Obiano didn't just insult Ikemba's wife she insulted the Igbos, she was in the midst of of elders and still didn't show no respect because she was first lady of the state, though Bianca Ojukwu is still young, she is considered by some as the mother of Igbos, not because of her experience or perfect ways, but because of whom she was married to.

In your own society self defence doesn't exist right?

Lol
It is well

The obi of akwa is on strong mkpurumiri, how can you ask someone that was assaulted to apologize to who assaulted her, what senseless myopic unwarranted bias judgment is that, it is callousness and unacceptable, what rubbish

The voice of the "oracle" has been heard loud and clear.



If is now left for Ebele Obiano to either obey or disobey.



However, the decision of the "oracle' appears partial and one-sided.





It takes two to tangle.




Bianca ought to have exercised restraint in spite of the provocation by Ebele given her pedigree.



To resort to physical violence of having to give a dirty slap to the then outgoing first lady of the state amounts to taking laws into her own hands.




After all, two wrongs, they say, can't be right no matter what.



The two ladies should both be made to jointly apologize for constituting public nuisance.

And the right thing was for the woman to slap her?

I don't care about who insulted who..asfar as she didn't physically touch the one then the other one is also at fault..

These people are only moved by emotion. How can the whole obi worry himself in this kind of simple matter that even police found ridiculous and unnecessary to make arrest. Are they turning ochukwu to small god, somebody that supposed to be punished for wasting millions of youths in unnecessary and avoidable war ? I am not really convinced this comes out of obi, but if it does; he is moved by sentiment instead of maintaining status quo position in the matter

According to Mrs Ojukwu, she touched her by the shoulder.
