Rita Edochie, veteran Nollywood actress, has criticized Bianca Ojukwu and Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano over their fight at the inauguration ceremony of Charles Chukwuma Soludo on Thursday, describing it as a disgrace.
The duo of Bianca, wife of late Emeka Ojukwu and Mrs. Obiano, wife of the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano had engaged in a fight during the swearing-in of Soludo as governor of Anambra State.
Reacting to the fight, Edochie, who shared a video clip of the incident on her Instagram page, described it as “disgraceful.”
The actress also took a swipe at an official at the event directing journalists to stop filming the fight.
“Shut down. Tell everybody to shutdown. What a disgrace on this day in Anambra state,” she wrote.
Soludo had in a statement apologised over the incident. The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) added that the brawl was caused by “improper communication between the two parties.”
“Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo hereby apologizes to all Anambra people, friends and guests who attended his inauguration this morning as the Anambra State governor for the breach of protocol,” the statement reads.
“The breach was caused by improper communication which itself arose from a personal issue between the two parties involved in the breach.”
