The former First Lady of Anambra State, Ebele Obiano, has tendered an apology to the newly sworn-in Governor of the state, Charles Soludo, following the incident between her and Bianca Ojukwu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.
Recall that during Soloudo’s swearing in last week, Ebele and Bianca engaged in a physicall altercation.
According to viral videos on social media, Bianca slapped Ebele who had allegedly attacked her while the swearing ceremony was ongoing.
In a statement, Ebele, tendering an apology, 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 said.
