What Ebele Said That Made Me Slap Her - Bianca Finally Speaks | READ IN FULL

The duo had engaged in a fist cuff on Thursday, while Chukwuma Charles Soludo was being sworn in as the state governor.

In an exclusive interview with Arise TV noted that Ebele who was absent at the beginning of the event, arrived later, approached her to taunt her.

''I didn't pay any attention to her arrival. Surprisingly, she then walked towards me and I thought she was coming to greet me. Instead she verbally attacked me with her voice raised, taunting me and asking me what I was there to do, using unprintable, vile language.

She asked if I had come to celebrate their last day in office but I ignored her completely. Then she kept on aggressively putting her hand on my shoulders and shouting.

While I ignored her verbal onslaught as advised by people sitting around me, I requested twice that she refrains from touching me with her hands. She proceeded to do so yet again and tried to touch my head and remove my head tie. It was at this point I stood up to defend myself and gave her a dirty slap to stop her from attacking me. As she made towards me, I den pulled away her wig, she then held on to her wig with her two hands and tried to take the wig away from me.

The former APGA chairman, Umeh, told her to leave me and told everyone to leave. I was stunned by the stench of whisky in her breath at such an early hour of the day.

How could the first lady be so drunk at that time? I stayed back to watch the ceremony till the end and left with my dignity intact''.

Confirming Bianca's narration, In an interview with Arise TV, Umeh said;

''Yesterday was not a pleasant day for us because we were at the inauguration ceremony of Professor Soludo as the governor-elect. Something unimaginable happened and it overshadowed the storyline yesterday.

From Ambassador Bianca's narrative, she was correct in her narration of what actually happened because we were all seated in good time for the event.

The former governor drove into the arena and when he alighted from his car, we noticed he didn't come with his wife. He came and exchanged pleasantries with everybody and went and sat down. Everything had gone on. The deputy governor had been sworn in.

The Chief Judge was on the verge of swearing in the new governor and midway into that ceremony of swearing-in Governor Soludo, the former first lady came into the arena and walked to another place to sit down away from where the husband sat. We also observed that that was a strange situation. She ought to have gone to sit with her husband but she didn't do that.

The video footage has shown everything to everybody that she left where she was sitting and walked straight to where Ambassaor Bianca was sitting calmly and started verbal attacks on her. I was seated away but within a very clear view.

When the exchange of blows as I would call it started, I had to rush to that place to restrain them and separate them to ensure that no harm was inflicted on Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu who was sitted very calmly for that ceremony''
