The Senator representing Anambra North, Senator Stella Oduah has condemned in strong terms, the conduct of the wife of the ex-governor and former first lady of Anambra State, Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano, who according to her threw decorum away and attacked Her Excellency, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu at Charles Soludo’s inauguration ceremony.

The senator in a statement of Thursday said “In strong terms, this unwarranted attack against the wife of an illustrious son and our very own Ikemba. I wish to add that the act exhibited by the former first lady was indecorous and unbecoming of a woman who had acted as a mother of the state and even desirous of serving in other capacities.

“More condemnable is even the gutter and vulgar language used by Mrs Obiano to describe her fellow woman, who is even a widow. I have always held the view that it is only weak minds that label hardworking women like Bianca with nasty names.

“And it is more unfortunate when a woman, especially one that has been around the corridors of power, is the one hurling such baseless and regretful invectives against her fellow woman. What the world witnessed today at the swearing-in ceremony is utterly disgraceful, unfortunate

“Crude and should never be emulated by the millions of our young girls and women who often look up to public figures with respect to how they conduct themselves. Only a few days ago, an innocent woman was publicly paraded naked in the same community our former first lady

“Hails from and one would have thought that rather than showcase this brute nature of fighting and engaging in public fisticuffs with her guest, she should have exerted same energy and fighting spirit in ensuring that justice is done for that widow. It saddens me a great deal

“To see the wife of an illustrious Anambra son, the pride of Ndigbo and an achiever that was once an ambassador of the Federal Republic, being attacked unprovoked and I join all right thinking persons in praying that we never ever record this type of travesty again in our history As a state.”
