Emeka Jr, first son of late Biafran warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, yesterday took a swipe at his father’s widow, Ambassador Bianca Ojikwu and Ebele, the wife of former Governor Willie Obiano, for publicly engaging themselves in a fight at the inauguration of Governor Charles Soludo.
Emeka in a statement described the action of Bianca as an insult on the name image and integrity of his father (Ojukwu), adding that it was a display of lack of respect for her late husband.
He contended that Bianca had no need to engage in a fight because the challenge thrown to her by Mrs. Ebele Obiano was avoidable and did not call for any form of response let alone a fight.
Emeka, however, noted that the actions of the former first lady was unbecoming of a true Igbo woman, noting that he was not taking sides with any of them but that it is a wrong period to make such a display of hooliganism by the two.
He said: “I understand the sentiments and I cannot stop anyone from taking sides, but did Zik’s wife, Awo’s wife, Tafala Balewa’s wife, etc ever fight in public?
