The quarrel between Amb. Bianca Ojukwu, widow of late Igbo leader Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and wife of former Anambra Governor, Ebelechukwu Obiano, has enraged the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, OYC.
Mrs. Obiano reportedly approached Ojukwu’s wife during Prof. Chukwuma Soludo’s inauguration as Anambra Governor, resulting in a violent altercation, according to Anaedoonline.ng.
In a statement issued by Ohanaeze youths in response to the event, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, the organization’s President-General, advised the Obiano family to apologize to the whole Ndigbo community as soon as possible.

The OYC stated it would not sit by and let anybody trash Ojukwu’s family, citing Mrs. Obiano’s behavior as a major insult to the whole Igbo race.
“We were shocked to see the viral footage of Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano’s unjustified attack on the wife of Igbo leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu,” he stated.
“To put it mildly, this is the pinnacle of insult and humiliation for the whole Igbo race, especially given what the Ojukwu family represents for all of Igboland.
“As a result, we are threatening the Obiano family with terrible repercussions unless they promptly apologize to the Igbo race.” They have an ultimatum: either apologize for the barbarous deed or face the wrath of the whole Igbo youths.

“Having said this, I appeal to the Igbo youths, including Biafra agitators who are so provoked by Mrs. Obiano’s action, to calm down while we wait for the family to do the needful.”
Okwu, however, hailed Mrs. Ojukwu for disciplining Obiano’s wife, stressing that, “we are happy that Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu was able to instill discipline on Mrs. Obiano since she did not get common training from her parents and the husband.”
“As the wife of a warlord, Mrs. Ojukwu couldn’t have done anything less; we are so proud of her and we know that the training she gave to Mrs. Obiano will linger in her memory for several years,” Okwu further stated.
He used the opportunity to congratulate Prof. Soludo on his swearing-in, urging him to set the ball rolling and restore the pride of Anambra State.
