Drama ensued on Thursday at the inauguration of Chukwuma Soludo as the governor of Anambra when Ebelechukwu, wife of outgoing Governor Willie Obiano, reportedly slapped Bianca Ojukwu at the event.
The incident occurred immediately after Mr Soludo took his oath of office.
Dignitaries were already seated when Mrs Obiano stepped in and moved to the front row where the widow of Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu was seated.
Although the sequence of actual incident and reason for the fight is yet to be confirmed, some eyewitness claim Mrs Obiano slapped Bianca while others claim Bianca hit the former First Lady first.

The action drew the attention of security agents and some personalities who pulled Mrs Obiano off the hold of Ms Ojukwu who was visibly shocked by the assault.
Mrs Obiano was later taken away and shortly afterwards, her husband left the venue since the incident happened after the new governor had been sworn in.
