Bishop Sunday Onuoha of the Methodist Church, has reacted to Bianca Ojukwu, the widow of the late Igbo leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu slapping Ebelechukwu Obiano, wife of the immediate-past Governor of Anambra State.
The incident happened during the inauguration of Professor Chukwuma Soludo as the new Governor on Thursday.
Speaking with Vanguard in Umuahia, Bishop Onuoha described the action of former Anambra First Lady as an embarrassment to Ndigbo.
He said that Obiano’s wife displayed a lack of respect by throwing caution to the wind by slapping Ojukwu’s wife without regard to what Ojukwu represents to the Igbo nation.
Describing the late Ojukwu as an Iconic institution to the Igbo race, Bishop Onuoha said the action of the former Governor’s wife was shameful irrespective of her reasons.
Bishop Onuoha called on Igbo women to rise in unison and mete out appropriate sanctions to Obiano’s wife and cut her to sizes.
” I want every responsible Igbo woman to rise and teach her that what she did not represent the Igbo woman. That’s not who we are.
” In fact, that despicable action has also further indicated that she was not prepared to leave office. It just dawned on her that she was leaving.”
