After Apologising For Slapping Incident, Ebele Obiano Vows To Oust Oduah From Senate Seat

Ebele Obiano, wife of the former governor of Anambra State, says she has apologized over the slapping altercation with Bianca Ojukwu that marred penultimate Thursday’s inauguration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo but has also at the same time picked up a fight with Senator Stella Oduah.

Obiano who was slapped by Bianca Ojukwu after allegedly going into a drunken rage with the wife of the former Biafran leader has also restated her determination to oust the incumbent senator representing Anambra North Senatorial District, Senator Stella Oduah.

Ebele Obiano made the disclosure while speaking with journalists in Awka.

“As a peaceful person that I am well known for, violence has never been in my character,” she said.

“I remain grateful to several elders, statesmen, friends and associates of the Obianos, as well as a countless number of good people of Anambra state who called and expressed their concerns and offered wise counsels and words of comfort after the unfortunate drama”.

Noting the pressure from people of Anambra North to contest the Senate seat, she said:

“My interest to join the senatorial race is in response to an overwhelming pressure and calls from my people to represent them in the Senate at the national assembly, Abuja,” she said.

Following her apology, Ebele Obiano affirmed that she was well positioned to defeat Senator Oduah, for the Anambra North Senate seat.

“Therefore, having witnessed and been positively touched by my ever willing disposition to care for people, empower the poor and needy, especially women and children, particularly widows, orphans and the destitute, my people decided that I should come and serve them better in a higher capacity, “Obiano said.

Her letter read in part: “All those who know me can testify that before and throughout my eight years as the First Lady of the 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.”
