Wife of the governor of Anambra
State, Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano has said that her husband’s government has
accorded wife of the late leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA),
Amb. Bianca Ojukwu all courtesies due to her husband.
Obiano was reacting to insinuations
that a recent attack on the governor by Mrs Ojukwu was because Governor Obiano
no longer patronizes her.
Mrs Obiano also denied social
media reports that she invoked thunder on Amb Bianca Ojukwu for deriding her
husband (Governor Willie Obiano) over his inability to attend the second public
lecture in memory of Chief Ojukwu held at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu
University, Igbariam on Monday.
Mrs Obiano was quoted to have
also said that Amb. Ojukwu’s anger towards her husband stemmed from her inability
to clinch APGA ticket to run for a seat in the Senate and the suspension of N20
million paid to her by the state government to sustain her.
But in a press release made by
the deputy chief press secretary to the governor, Mr Emeka Ozumba on behalf of Mrs
Obiano, she stated that she would never descend low to attack the wife of the
late leader of the party no matter how provoked she could be.
“We would like to inform the
public that Her Excellency, Dr. Mrs Obiano, never made such a statement either
in public or in private. She cannot, in any circumstance, make a statement like
this, marked by a total lack of decorum and elegance.
“Those who forged the statement
are so unintelligent that they could not state whether the so-called reaction
by Dr. Mrs Obiano was in a news release or an interview. Nor could they state
the place where she ostensibly made the statement or the day.
“The forgery is the work of
political con artists who operate at the basest level possible. They work in
cahoots with shadowy characters who are not happy at the phenomenal progress
which Anambra State has recorded in various areas in recent years, leading the
whole country in such fields as financial resource management, security,
education, peace and stability, among others.
“It is pure disinformation to
allege that the Anambra State Government under Governor Willie Obiano has been
paying Mrs Ojukwu N20m monthly. It is also a spurious claim to allege that
Governor Obiano has built a house for Mrs Ojukwu in Nnewi.
“What the state administration
has done to Ambassador Ojukwu is to extend to her, courtesies which should be
accorded the wife of the APGA leader. For instance, she has for years been a
member of the APGA Board of Trustees. She remains so to this day, despite her
tantrums against the party.”
Amb Bianca Ojukwu had been quoted
to have described Governor Obiano as an ingrate who bit the fingers that fed
him by refusing to attend the Ojukwu memorial lecture for the second time since
it was instituted.
